Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
What age does my child need to be to attend ENS?
Students may attend who reach the age of 3 years by December 31st of the school year. Our children range in age from three to five years old. We also offer a Mommy and Me Yoga program for two year olds. A parent or caregiver is required to attend the program.
What are the school's policies regarding the care of children with allergies?
The school's first priority is the health and safety of all its students. All teachers are certified in CPR and Epi-pen administration. Specific allergy medication is kept at school for emergencies. Allergy action plans are determined and managed in partnership with the student's family, the school and medical professionals. Snacks are nut-free and during lunch time the classroom has a peanut/nut free table.
Do you offer a tuition discount?
Emmanuel Nursery School offers a 5% discount for tuition paid in full (cash/check only) and a 10% sibling discount. Families pay full price for the first student and get 10% off the price of tuition for subsequent children.
Do the classes take field trips?
Field trips are planned to enhance the classroom curriculum. In the fall children visit Warrups Farm. In the spring, the Four's visit New Pond Farm and Hurlbutt Elementary School. To celebrate the end of the school year the children and their families spend the morning at Compo Beach.

We offer a fall and spring parent-teacher conference. However, a parent may ask for an informal conference at anytime.
