Registration

2024-2025

In September of 2024, Rush Nursery School, Inc. will begin its sixty sixth year of service to preschool children in our community. The school has grown and changed over the years. The one thing that has always remained constant is the high-quality preschool experience we offer.

Our goal is for your child to grow in self esteem, confidence and social skills.

As you select a preschool for your child, we encourage you to compare our program with others. Please note such things as:

- Separate classes for two, three, four and five-year-old children
- Class size and length
- Adult to child ratio
- Curriculum
- Age appropriate, quality equipment and toys
- Experience and qualifications of the staff
- Home-School Communication (teacher email and website access, peek at the week letters, as well as monthly newsletters, parent teacher conference, orientation program)
- Child being potty trained is not required

We believe you will give RNS high marks in these areas. Please consider the services and quality of program provided when comparing tuitions.

Rush Nursery School families have been pleased with the continuing care and concern given to parents and their children. We are hopeful that sharing this information with you will help you select the best nursery school experience for you and your child. We encourage you to contact us with any questions about our program. We also encourage prospective parents to make an appointment to visit our school while it is in session or explore our website to learn more.

Below you will find our “Information for Applicants.” Please read this carefully if you plan to fill out an application.

Sincerely,

Kirstin O’Connell

7. Attendance by at least one parent of each enrolled child is required at our parent orientation meeting on August 26, 2024. At this meeting parents will meet their child’s teacher, learn RNS policies, receive class lists and handbooks and hand in health and immunization forms. A personal information form and permission forms will be passed out to be completed and returned to your teacher by the first day of class.
8. All important paper work and announcements will be going home via email. Please make sure to check your email on a regular basis for updates and important news from Rush Nursery School. If you wish to receive paper copies in the mail, please contact the registrar at rnsregistrar@gmail.com.
