Kindergarten Admissions

St. Nicholas kindergarten is a full-day program, held 8:00 am to 2:00 pm daily.  A free hour of extended care from 2:00-3:00 pm is included in your tuition, and many of our kinders enjoy this as a built-in "playdate."

 

We offer a varied and active schedule to ensure our youngest students stay engaged while building their reading, writing and learning skills.  We offer an innovative curriculum, including a guided reading program, tailored for children who are not yet reading to children who are reading at the second grade level; basic computing and coding skills; and empathy learning to help children in understanding the needs and feelings of others.


To apply to the Kindergarten program, please complete our online application. We will confirm your submission immediately via e-mail.  Fees (cash or check) should be submitted to St. Nicholas School, 12816 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills, CA 94022.  

 

If you would prefer to apply or submit the required forms in person, please contact our office through our online form or call us at 650-941-4056.
