Welcome to the Early Childhood School at B'nai Shalom of Olney!

To register your child for school at the ECS, please complete the entire form below. This enrollment form includes registration and digital releases needed for participation in the Early Childhood School. By filling in your name in the form below, you are providing a digital signature equal to signing a "hard copy" release for your child.

In addition to the form below, Maryland requires all preschool students to have an annual health assessment, updated immunization records, and a one-time lead test (for those required). Before your child can begin school at the ECS, these forms must be on file with the ECS office.

If your child has allergy or medical reasons that we may need to administer prescription medication at school, a Medical Conditions and Instructions Sheet and Medication Authorization Form, both completed and signed by your child's pediatrician, should be provided to the school along with any emergency medication needed before your child begins school.

Downloadable copies of all medical forms, as well as the ACH payment authorization form can be found here.

Outdoor Play at ECS

Use of our "outdoor classroom" is an important part of the curriculum at the ECS. Children at the ECS play outdoors year-round, exploring their environment, learning about changes in seasons and weather, and developing an appreciation for the local ecology. Children may get wet and/or dirty during outdoor play. Please check the outdoor play releases below.

During the summer, ECS children engage in water play activities on the playground. If you are registering your child for our 12-month program, which includes the summer, please check the water play release below. (Children who enroll separately in camp will complete this release during their camp registration).

Emergency Evacuation Plan

We have established an emergency evacuation plan for our school. Hopefully, we will never need to implement this plan, but we want to make sure you are aware of this just in case we must evacuate the building and are unable to return. Our friends at St. John’s Episcopal Church next door to us at: 3247 Olney-Laytonsville Road will welcome your children and our teachers. Parents would be expected to pick their children up at St. John’s Episcopal Church as soon as they are notified about the emergency. Teachers will stay with your children at all times until you or someone listed on your carpool form arrives. Our backup evacuation is KinderCare across the street at 3805 Gelding Lane.

* We are aware of the Emergency Evacuation Plan of B’nai Shalom of Olney Nursery School. If the building needs to be evacuated, we agree to promptly pick our child/children up next door at St. John’s Episcopal Church: 3247 Olney-Laytonsville Road or the second pick-up site across the street at KinderCare at 3805 Gelding Lane.

Children with Special Needs

All children are welcome in our Early Childhood School. We do not discriminate based on race, color or national origin in the admission of our students. We do everything that is possible to accommodate all children in our program.

When we have a child that is having difficulty in our typical early childhood school classroom, we will consult with parents and as well as representatives from the Montgomery County Childcare Resource and Referral Service or other providers as requested by the parents. We will work exhaustively with parents, the Early Childhood School staff, and any support personnel hired by the parents (for example, educational consultants, physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, etc.) to accommodate your child.

If it is decided that the child can be accommodated in our classroom with a trained support person providing one-on-one help for that child, it is hoped that the early childhood school program will continue for that child. Our affiliated agencies will provide training for our staff and consult with the parents and the professional staff the parents are using.

It needs to be understood by all parties involved that parents must pay for the additional support person in the classroom and for the training of that support person. The parents must also pay for consultations, testing and professional services. It would be expected that parents would work with the Early Childhood School staff to get the appropriate support help and be involved in the development and individual education plan for their child.

We will make every effort to work with you and your child. If, however, after exhaustive measures, we are not able to sustain a classroom environment for all of the children that is consistent with the Early Childhood School’s philosophy and goals, it may become necessary to find another program for your child.

* We have read the Early Childhood School at B’nai Shalom of Olney policy about children with special needs. We are aware of and will abide by the school’s policies.

I acknowledge understanding of the following ECS policies and agree to the terms defined in these policies:

Registration is considered completed only upon both the submission of the application and the receipt of the registration fee in full.
There is a prepayment of one month’s tuition which must be paid by August 7th each school year for 10-month students, and June 7th for 12-month students. This prepayment will then be credited toward the last month’s tuition for that school year. For those enrolling mid-year, the prepayment is due upon registration acceptance.
After August 7th, a sixty-day (60) notice must be submitted in writing if withdrawing during the school year. The tuition prepayment will then be credited to the final month of enrollment.
