How do I join the Village Nest Cooperative?

Simple!  Schedule a tour by emailing us at [email protected] or [email protected] ! 

You can expect to meet with one of the directors at the start of your tour and they will take you through the forest to see the classrooms, sleeping set-up and general play areas. During this time, our day to day will be shared with you along with our philosophy, curriculum, and focus for all kids who attend our program. Questions are welcome and encouraged during this time but also at any point of the process. It is important to us that we provide as much as information as needed for you to make a decision that works for your child(ren) and family. A tour is always our first step in the process. We want you to see where your child would be every day and gives you an immediate idea of what a day in the life of a student looks like, no matter the season!

Once you have completed the tour you will be sent a follow up email. This is a great opportunity to ask any more questions that you may have thought of since the tour. This is also the opportunity to show further interest and fill out our waitlist application. We charge a $10 non-refundable waitlist application fee. This is for the time and effort that goes into follow up with you as we get closer to your preferred enrollment period. 

We have two enrollment periods, Summer and Fall. However, based on availability we also have rolling enrollment and can add students when space becomes available. To ensure you are added to our waitlist with your preferred start time, please let us know if you are looking for immediate availability or specifically Summer or Fall. 

The final step is accepting an offer from The Village Nest Cooperative for your child/ren to attend and filling out all necessary enrollment forms.
