ADMISSIONS

Admissions for the 2021-2022 school year are closed, and we are no longer accepting applications. Please check our Events page for Open House dates for 2022-23 admissions.

HOURS AND DATES
Sunset Cooperative Nursery School is structured on half-day sessions, five days a week. 
Our morning session runs from 9 am-12 pm, and our afternoon session runs from 1 pm-4 pm.
An extended care (8am - 9am & 4pm - 5pm) and lunch program (12pm - 1pm) are available on a limited basis. 
The fall semester runs roughly August to December and the spring semester runs roughly January to June. Summer school is available on a limited basis.


APPLICATION PROCESS 
Sunset Cooperative Nursery School is open to all children between the ages of two and five, and they need not be toilet trained. To begin the application process, your child must be eligible for enrollment in the following school year. Here are the steps:

Attend an Open House. We host two Open Houses in the Fall. Please check out the dates and sign up on our Events page. We normally post info about our Open Houses each August. Our Open Houses are opportunities for you to learn more about our play-based school, and last approximately an hour and a half. Once you have attended an Open House, you will have the chance to sign up for a tour.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Open Houses may be held online this year.

The Fall Open House dates are:  
September 30, 2021, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
                                              December 02, 2021, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Take a tour: On the tour, you will experience a day in the life of a Sunset student and have an opportunity to get to meet all of the teachers and ask all the questions you can think of.

Application Form & Non-Refundable Fee: If you would like to continue the application process after touring the school, return a completed application form along with a $30 non-refundable processing fee by the deadline given. The non-refundable fee is used to defray the cost of processing the application and is required in order to continue the application process. Please note, the fee does not guarantee acceptance.

Application Acceptance: Once all meetings have been completed, we will contact applicants to  discuss membership. 

A Meeting with the Director: During the spring semester we will begin the "interview" process by setting up meetings with the Director, determined by position in the waiting pool and the requirements (e.g. child's age, target enrollment date) of the space that is available.

Wait Pool: Applications are recorded as they are received. The waiting pool is defined by several factors: date of receipt of application, age, gender and presence of siblings and/or returning families and AM or PM availability.

Keep in Touch: Let us know you are still interested as the year goes by, check-in with one of our membership chairpersons. Write a letter explaining your reasons for wanting to join a cooperative. We love to hear from you.

Megan's Law: All family names through the California Department of Justice Megan's Law database.

Immunizations: Please read our immunization requirements.
