If you are interested in a place for your child at our Nursery, we would love to hear from you.

How to Apply

Please contact the school office at office@ovpa-tkat.org to request an admissions form or to ask any questions about the process.

When to Apply

• Recommended Deadline: We suggest families submit admissions forms in the September before their child turns 3. This helps ensure you can access your preferred sessions. We welcome admission forms year round but have limited numbers per session.
   
• Start Dates: We primarily welcome new children in September and January.
   
• Mid-Term Starts: Transitions outside of these standard terms are considered on an individual basis to ensure the best fit for your child.
