For Prospective Families

The Preschool at NMS runs from September through June. Applications for the following Fall school year are accepted beginning in October. Open enrollment begins in mid-February after priority registration for existing families. New applications are considered on a rolling admissions basis. 

Families interested in applying to the Preschool at NMS are invited to schedule a tour of the classrooms with the program director. Inquiries can be made at any time though we do recommend you call during the Fall prior to the year you would like your child to attend. Preschool Enrollment Applications will be provided at the time of the visit.

Preschool applicants must be three, four or five years old by September 1. 
Toddler applicants must be two by September 1.
