Enroll for the
2025 - 2026
school year

Children must be between 2.6 to 5 years old to attend Noe Valley Nursery School. Children must be potty trained upon enrollment (accidents may happen, of course, but children cannot wear diapers; they learn quickly when among peers). Please note that we have a rolling admissions process and we process applications in the order of receipt.

The application process begins with a school tour followed by an online application. During your visit to the school with your child, you will learn more about our philosophy, curriculum, and family responsibilities. You will be able to observe your child in the school environment, receive a first-hand account of the school from a current family member, and meet one-on-one with our Director.

Noe Valley Nursery School welcomes all children and their families regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national, or ethnic origin. We do not discriminate in our programs, admission policies, scholarships, or other activities.
