2025-2026

Registration

In September of 2025, Rush Nursery School, Inc. will begin its sixty seventh 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 fine 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.

Sincerely,

Kirstin O’Connell
Director

Acceptance to the class of your choice is  contingent upon the space available. Early applicants are most likely to receive the class of their first choice (please  include three choices). No hand delivered applications will be accepted. Online applications can be submitted at  www.rushnurseryschool.org

5. Notification of acceptance and class placement will be made by e-mail for all children. Waiting lists are made  when a class is full. Be sure to indicate on your application if you wish to be put on such a list.

6. All enrolled Rush Nursery school students need to provide a health and immunization form by the first day of  school. This form must be completed by your doctor and is required by law. Therefore, no child may attend RNS  unless these records are on file with our school.

7. Attendance by at least one parent of each enrolled child is required at our parent orientation meeting on August 25,  2025. 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.

9. KinderPrep is the ideal class for the student who is age ready, but not socially, emotionally or academically ready to go to kindergarten. See here for more details.
