Applications may be submitted throughout the calendar year; it is recommended to submit applications in the Fall for the following school year

Tours provide valuable information about WCNS's philosophy, routines, and environment.   It is an opportunity to view the classroom, observe interactions between teachers and children, ask questions about the program, and determine if the school is the right fit for your child.

There is a $40 application fee that is submitted with the application.  


​Decisions regarding enrollment are generally made in February, at which time contracts are mailed to families. Families are expected to make an enrollment decision and return contracts with a deposit within two weeks. 
Please note: Contracts are issued for a 10-month school year.
