What happens when I pre-register?
After reading over all waivers + the Family Handbook, you can click the button above, and pre-register your child for the wait list. Pre-registration for The Nest Forest School 2021/2022 will open to the public on Tue. May 4 @ 9 am Yukon Time.
Note: It will state 'Wait List Only' when you go to do this. Please continue to complete all forms to confirm your spot on the wait list.
We will begin emailing families approximately one week after the pre-registration opens to offer children spots at The Nest.
If you are selected by lottery for a spot at The Nest, you will have 48 hours to respond and confirm your spot. If you do not respond within 48 hours, we will move onto the next family.
If you are not contacted, it means a spot is not yet available. If a spot becomes available, we will reach out as soon as possible.
Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and encouraging of this new program.
We hope to welcome as many families to The Nest as possible.
