Preschool Enrollment | FNS Anacortes

2024/2025 CLASS REGISTRATION

We accept enrollment packets on a rolling basis throughout the year except for the months leading up to March 2025, when we close enrollment in order to update our forms and processes for the coming school year.

SCHEDULE & TUITION

24/25 SCHOOL CALENDAR: Classes are from Sept 4, 2024- June 17, 2025.

Mar 17 through June 17, 2025 @ Bowman Bay

We offer four weekly schedule options. Tuition is calculated for the whole school year and divided into 10 equal monthly payments. We increased tuition in order to maintain current daily operations including fair staff wages and student financial assistance.

If payment is challenging, please complete a registration packet anyway! We do our best to provide reduced tuition for families who need it. Also, we accept Working Childcare Connections funding. Free outdoor clothing is available.

Instead of asking for application fees or deposits, we are requesting that the entire registration packet be filled out at the time of enrollment to demonstrate your commitment to sending your child to Fidalgo Nature School. If you prefer paper registration, please email: molly@fidalgonatureschool.com with your mailing address or call #360.375.3809. Receipt of a complete enrollment packet is required to hold your child(ren)’s place in the class or on the waitlist. Please follow these steps to enroll:

Review the following documents. You will be required to acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to review these documents prior to submitting the enrollment packet. The 24/25 versions will be shared with enrolled families in August.

These forms must be signed by you and/or your child’s medical provider. You may print and scan these to attach to your enrollment packet as PDF files.
