How does our admissions process work? Take a look at the steps below.
Still have questions? Get in touch at admissions@bopn.org.
We Have Rolling Admissions
If we have open spots, we will accept mid-year enrollments. (And yes, we do have a few open spots for the 2022 school year!)
Summer-Only Admissions
We run mixed-age summer programs at all three of our sites. Summer 2023 registration will open to new families on March 1, 2023.
Sign up for our priority waitlist to access early summer registration.
General Admissions Process
1
We run lots of programs at three different sites! Fill out our brief interest form to help us get a sense of your needs and which programs may be the best fit. We'll get right back to you.
2
The best way to learn more about us is to see our programs in action! Come see our philosophy in practice, chat with our experienced nature educators, and enjoy the tranquil forests, gardens, and landscapes the children explore on a regular basis. (And for full day programs, see our indoor spaces too!) Tours are optional for half day summer and school year. If you're out of state or abroad, or just have a tight schedule, we're happy to answer your questions by phone or Zoom.
3
We do everything digitally! When you are ready to sign up for one of our programs, we'll send you a link to our online registration form. If you need financial aid, we'll send you an application. If you're interested in a future year, you can use the registration form to join our waitlist.
4
After we receive your registration, we prepare an individualized pricing and program schedule and enrollment packet. After you submit your deposit and enrollment paperwork, your spot is secure.
Yes, We Have Openings!
Is your child turning 2.9 mid-year? Are you moving from out of state? Just looking for something different for your child?
We have a few remaining openings for the current year. If you are interested in a current year opening, please submit an interest form, and we will get back to you promptly.
Summer 2023 and School Year 2023-2024 registration will open to new families toward the end of February. Please scroll down for more information on Summer 2023 and future year admissions, as well as our general admissions policies and processes.
We welcome your inquiries and are always happy to answer your admissions questions by phone (774.500.4008) or email (admissions@bopn.org).
