Registration Procedure

Registration opens first for current and alumni families in February, and then in late February opens to new families who have already visited the school for the upcoming school year. If you are interested in enrolling, please sign up for an Open House or after-hours tour, give us a call at 732-244-1550, or send a message via Contact Us.

Registration takes place online through the existing MyProcare.com accounts that current BNS families already use. For new families, you will be invited to pre-register on our online portal via an email announcement after an Open House visit, tour, or other conversation with office staff about placement and enrollment.

Tuition Policy

Tuition is divided into ten equal payments due the first of each month in the month preceding the month of attendance. A non-refundable registration fee is due at time of registration. The first payment is due by August 1st to cover September tuition. This first payment secures your child’s enrollment in our program. The 2nd payment is due September 1st to apply to October attendance and ends with your final payment May 1st for June. A late fee of $2 per day will be assessed for all late payments. A $10 change fee will be assessed for altering child schedules. Beachwood Nursery School expenses are paid by tuition; therefore, no deductions will be made for daily or extended absences or emergency closings. Snow days will be added to the end of the school year according to the number of days missed during the school year. We require a four week written notice prior to a student withdrawal before prepaid tuition can be refunded. Please contact us for information about the tuition policy for delayed starts for new infants. Payment online by credit card is available for tuition payments with no additional fee. The summer program is billed separately.

We participate in the New Jersey's Child Care Subsidy Program for tuition assistance for eligible families, administered through Ocean County's childcare resource and referral agency, The Children's Home Society (CHS of NJ). Please call us or send a message via Contact Us for more information.
