ENROLLMENT FAQ
Here are some answers to common questions we are asked regarding the enrollment process.
Q: How can I get on the waiting list for an enrollment spot at Nestling House?
A: Please get in touch by submitting an enrollment inquiry above. We are not able to handle enrollment inquiries by phone, however we are typically able to reply to email inquiries within 1-3 days. We will provide you with a pre-enrollment application to complete and submit along with a non-refundable $50 application fee. Once we have received both your pre-enrollment application and application fee, we will place you on the waiting list.
Q: Can you estimate when a space for my child will become available?
A: We wish we could! Unfortunately, there are too many variables to consider so making an accurate prediction is impossible. We are happy to update families on our waiting list with their current position at any time. We can also let you know how many families are currently on the waiting list before you decide that you want to be added.
Q: We need care for our child on alternating days from week to week (for example: M, T, F one week and W, Th, F the next week), or we need “drop-in” care on a schedule that changes every week. Can Nestling House accommodate these types of schedules?
A: We understand that many families are looking for this type of care, however we cannot offer alternating or “drop-in” care schedules. You may want to consider seeking an in-home family child care provider or a nanny share if you require this type of schedule.
