Spaces for 2026-27

We have spots open for the 2026-27 school year, and we take applications year-round.

Planning further ahead? Families can hold a place for a future year with a deposit. Email membership@hacns.com and we will sort it out with you.

Application Requirements

Children can join as soon as they turn 2, at any point in the year, and stay with us until they are 5. There is no need to wait for the start of the school year, or for your child's birthday to line up with the calendar.

They should be safe on the playground equipment and able to communicate basic needs. Children need not be potty-trained.

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