Enrollment
ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE AND REQUIREMENTS
Del Mar Hills Nursery School is licensed for 60 children. It admits children from 2 1/2 years, through the age of six. A child may not be six on the first of September, but may turn six during the school year. A child needs to be toilet learned before beginning school. While recognizing that accidents do happen, we do not have a diaper changing area for children still wearing diapers.
To gain admission for a child, parents need to visit the school, observe, and have an interview with the Director or Assistant Director. The purpose of the interview is to acquaint the parent with the philosophy of the school, not to screen children. Del Mar Hills Nursery School suggests that parents visit more than one school so that they can make an informed decision for their child.
Once a parent has decided to send his/her child to Del Mar Hills Nursery School, an application is filled out, signed and dated.
In the event the schedule a parent desires for his/her child is filled, the child's name may be placed on a waiting list. In order to be fair to all applicants, the list is first-come, first-served. Spaces are filled according to the hours of the opening. (Example: An opening for three mornings a week will be filled with the first child on the waiting list whose parent has requested three mornings a week.)
Upon enrollment, parents fill our a Parent's Report on their child's health, and a Physician's Report. The physician's Report gives the child's medical history and immunization history.
