The Haight Ashbury Community Nursery School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, or address. We aim for balance in terms of gender, age, and any special needs. Apply early to be placed on the school's waitlist.

Application Requirements

Applicants should be between 2 and 5 years old by the first day of school. They should also be safe on the playground equipment and be able to communicate basic needs. Children need not be potty-trained.

NOTE: For the upcoming school year (‘26-’27), we will be extending hours and offering a full-day option! While hours are not finalized yet, it will look something like this. Please reach out to us when you apply and let us know your preferred hours. We will try to accommodate your schedule!

Half day: 8:30 am to 12 noon. Full day: 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Aftercare nanny share: 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm.

Tuition

Tuition covers the cost of school operations and is paid monthly from August through May, and we do not prorate for shorter months. Tuition is currently set at $600 per month, and there are no additional fees for fundraising expectations for member families.

NOTE: As we consider extended hours for the 2026-2027 school year, we will also be adjusting tuition costs for a full-day program. Stay tuned, and please let us know your needs when you apply!

Grattan Playground

Drop-in visits with your child during regular school hours are most welcome. No appointment is necessary.
