Admissions
Selection
Admissions are determined by lottery, while seeking to balance the class in terms of race, gender, and age. We also give preference to the siblings of current OFNS students and alumni.
Children born in calendar years 2008 and 2009 (that is, children who will be turning 3 or 4 sometime in 2012) are eligible to apply for open spots at the school.
Deadline
Applications must be received by February 15, 2012. Please mail your application to the school along with an application fee of $50 made out to Old First Nursery School. Unfortunately we cannot accept drop-off applications. We will email you a confirmation to confirm receipt of your application.
Open House
Our annual Open House for prospective families, hosted by current OFNS families and teachers, will be held on Saturday, February 4th from noon-2pm (please note new date and time). Kids of all ages are welcome, and refreshments will be provided.
Our other tours of the school for this year are concluded, but please feel free to email any questions about OFNS to our admissions coordinators: ofnsadmissions@gmail.com.
