Each year, it gives us great pleasure to welcome new families into our community. We hope the following guidelines will help you with the process.
Your child must be two years old by August 31, 2026, to apply for our entry-level Twos/Threes Class, which begins in September 2026. If your child misses our cut-off date, you may be interested in our Toddler classes. You can find more information about our Toddler Program and Gentle Separation classes HERE.
We strongly encourage families to attend one of our Open Houses to learn more about our program and have the opportunity to tour the school for the first time. You will meet our Director, along with teachers who will articulate our mission and our program. You will also meet parents in our community whose children currently attend Chelsea Day School. It is a fun and highly informative evening for parents (only). Our Open Houses will begin in the fall, and you may attend without having submitted an application. We look forward to welcoming you!

Once an application is received we would love to have the opportunity to meet your family and will schedule a Family Meeting with you. We meet with families from November to February. Notifications are then sent according to the current ISAAGNY dates in early March.
We are an inclusive community and are committed to every family having the opportunity to be part of our school. Each year Chelsea Day School offers need-based financial aid to eligible families. Chelsea Day School utilizes the School and Student Services (SSS) for financial aid by NAIS. The amount of aid received by families ranges from partial to almost full tuition assistance. Families from a wide range of income levels have qualified for aid, based on individual family circumstances.
Thank you for your interest in Chelsea Day School and we look forward to meeting you and your family soon.
