Thank you for your interest in Oneonta Cooperative Nursery School. If you have decided that this may be the right school for you and your child, the application process is your next step. Your child is eligible to apply if he/she was born on or before December 2, 2005 and will be toilet-trained by September 2008. Our cut-off follows the State of California’s cut-off date for public schools. Your child must be age three by December 2nd of the year that they will begin preschool, and they must be potty-trained.

The application for 2008-2009 can be downloaded using the following link:
Oneonta 2008-2009 Application (PDF)

Please read it carefully and complete each item legibly and in ink. Next, attach a check to your application in the amount of $50.00 (non-refundable) payable to Oneonta Cooperative Nursery School. Enclose both items in a stamped envelope and send through the regular U.S. Mail to:

Reina Rogers, Membership Chair
525 Grand Avenue
South Pasadena, CA 91030

**Upon receipt, your application will be assigned a priority number. If more than one application is received on the same day, priority numbers will be randomly assigned.**

Within three to four weeks of receipt of your application, you will receive one of two possible letters:

1. If your child has been placed in a class, you will be sent a placement letter and several important forms which need to be completed for our records. You will be given fifteen (15) days in which to return these forms and a deposit of one month’s tuition and the earthquake kit fee in order for your child to be officially accepted.
2. If the class for which you applied is already full, your child will be put on the waiting list for that class. You will receive a letter confirming your child’s status.

Should you have any questions throughout the application process, you may contact Reina Rogers, Membership Chair at membership@oneontacoop.com
