Thank you for considering the Nativity Early Learning Center (NELC) for your child. I believe that early childhood education is one of the most beneficial programs that a child will go through. Our role as teachers helps to shape and guide your children to become successful in years to come. The extended day programs give children the opportunity to develop relationships, self-confidence, respect for others, as well as accepting responsibility for their actions and decisions in a safe and nurturing environment. I know the importance of a Catholic education and I like the strong sense of community a Catholic school provides. At NELC we strive to provide a safe, healthy, nurturing and responsive setting for children. We are committed to supporting each child's development by recognizing and respecting individual differences and potential.

Nicole McGie
Director of the Nativity Early Learning Center

Admission Information for Prospective Parents

At the Nativity Early Learning Center , our mission is to provide children and families with a nurturing, responsive learning environment. We're committed to providing our pre-school students the best educational experience possible. We are also eager to help our school-age, extended day students set goals and objectives so they can reach their full potential.

Regardless of their age, choosing a school and childcare environment for your child is a major decision. There are many ways to learn about the NELC. We welcome you to:

• Call the NELC office (651) 696-5437 to schedule a tour and an information session with our director
• Call our office to have materials sent to your home
• Ask other Nativity parents about our programs
• Attend Kindergarten Round-up in January

Once your child is enrolled in the NELC, your family will be invited to our orientation night to meet your child's teachers and friends while exploring their new classroom and materials. Parents meet other parents and have a chance to ask questions.

MONTHLY RATES: Families have the option of paying the full monthly rate at the beginning of the month, or paying half at the beginning and by the 15th of each month. NELC fees are due in full prior to the beginning of each period.

ELECTRONIC PAYMENT: Electronic payment is available and encouraged. Simply download your EFT Form, attach a voided check to it and return it with your enrollment materials. New and current electronic payment users must sign a new form during the annual enrollment process.
