Hinesburg Nursery School is now FULL for the 2025-2026 school year. However, spots may open up as the needs of our families change. If you would like to join our waitlist please contact HNS by emailing 
[email protected]. 

Admission priority is given in the following order:

1. Current or returning/alumni families.
2. New families with children who qualify for ELP funding (turn 3 by September 1st).
3. Families with children under the age of 3 at the beginning of the school year, who will turn 3 by October 15.

Your family does NOT need to reside in Hinesburg to attend our school. Each year we have families from nearby towns such as Monkton, Huntington, Charlotte, and St. George.
