New Family Registration.
Registration link will open for families new to Butterfly Hill at 6:00 PM on February 19, 2026.
First: Sign up for our Registration Open House.
Come explore what makes our nature preschool special! Join us for our Registration Open House on February 17th, with sessions from 5:15–6:00 PM or 6:15–7:00 PM. To reserve your spot, please email Julie at butterflyhillnaturepreschool@gmail.com with your preferred time. We’re delighted to welcome you and share more about our nature preschool.
At Registration Open House, you’ll have the chance to explore our indoor and outdoor classrooms, meet our teachers, and discover what a typical day at Butterfly Hill looks like. Your soon-to-be preschooler is welcome to attend with you, though it is not required.
Please note that attending a Registration Open House or touring our school is required prior to enrollment. Visiting Butterfly Hill is the best way to experience our nature-based, play-based approach and decide if our program is the right fit for your child.
Registration for Summer 2026 and/or the 2026–2027 School Year will open at 6:00 PM on February 19, 2026. Please take a moment to scroll down and read all of the information on this page before registering. Helpful hints and registration timelines can be found below the registration button to guide you through the process from start to finish.
Summer 2026 and School Year 2026-2027
Registration Process Overview
For the smoothest registration experience, we recommend completing the process on a computer rather than a mobile device.
Step 1: Click on the Registration Link to Create or Access Your Brightwheel Account
When you click the registration link above, you’ll be prompted to create an account in Brightwheel, the platform we use for family communication and tuition payments. Account setup is quick. As you create your account, please enter your contact information in the parent portal—doing so will make completing later forms faster.
If your family already uses Brightwheel for another school, simply link your preschooler to Butterfly Hill. Your child can be connected to multiple schools within Brightwheel.
Step 2: Complete the Registration Request Form
Next, you’ll complete the Registration Request form, where you’ll indicate your preferred class for Summer 2026 and/or the 2026–2027 School Year. Please select one preferred class option for each session you are registering for. If your first choice is full, we will contact you to discuss your next preference.
If registering for both summer and the school year, you will select “Yes” for two class options, and you are not required to choose the same class for both sessions. Please note that the form requires a Yes or No response for each class option before it can be submitted.
If you are registering more than one child, a separate Registration Request form is required for each child.
What Happens Next
Once you submit the Registration Request, no further action is needed until you receive your Class Placement email, which you can expect within one week of registering.
Important Note
Submitting the online Registration Request does not guarantee class placement. Please continue reading below to learn how class placement notifications are shared.
I Registered! Now What?
Watch your inbox. Within one week of submitting your Registration Request, you’ll receive a Class Placement email confirming your child’s class and outlining next steps.
Set up payment in Brightwheel. You’ll receive a Brightwheel invitation to add your payment method. All tuition payments are processed through Brightwheel via a linked checking account, and families do not incur an additional fee for automatic monthly withdrawals.
Complete the New Student Admission Packet. After your Class Placement email arrives, the New Student Admission Packet will appear in your Brightwheel account (you’ll be notified if notifications are turned on). This packet is due within one week of receipt. Once submitted, your 5% deposit(s) and registration fee(s) will be automatically withdrawn, and your child’s spot at Butterfly Hill will be secured. Please note: if the packet is not completed within one week, the spot will be offered to the next family on the waitlist.
Finish final forms. After the Admission Packet is submitted, remaining required forms will be added to your Brightwheel account. All forms—including the Health Care Summary completed by your child’s medical provider—must be submitted before your child’s first day.
What’s next? Before your child’s session begins, you’ll receive a Welcome Packet filled with helpful information to prepare your family for the first day. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore our website for photos, videos, and resources under “I’m Enrolled! Now What?” to help your child feel at home.
We’re so glad you’re here. We’re honored to welcome your family to Butterfly Hill and can’t wait to have you join our school community!
