Thank you for your interest in Davison's Cardinal's Nest program. Due to the emergency shut down the registration process will look differently this year. Starting Monday, June 15th through Thursday, June 18th we will have registration packets available for pick up between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm There are two important steps to pre-registering for preschool. 

Step 1 You will need to go to the Davison Website and click on the Early Childhood tab at the top of the page and choose the Cardinal's Nest. There is a link on the Cardinal's Nest to pre-register for either the 3 or 4 year old preschool program. There are a variety of choices ranging from 12 day to full day and 2, 3, or 5 days a week. You MUST complete this online pre-registration for the program you choose for your child. There is a $50 pre-registration cost that holds your spot in the program and covers other fees including online assessments for your child. 

Step 2 After you pre-register online, you can print the required registration documents from the quick link on the Davison Schools Website for Cardinal's Nest Distance Registration. Quick links are located on the left of the main Davison Community Schools webpage. If you do not have access to print the documents from the website, you can pick up a Cardinal's Nest Distance registration packet. Please take one packet per child. The packet will have instructions on the documents that need to be filled out, what types of documentation you will need to copy and return, as well as the eligibility and prioritization guidelines. Once completed, you will return the packet to the Cardinal's Nest building during the week of June 15th-June 18th between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. DO NOT LEAVE COMPLETED PACKETS IN THE BIN OUTSIDE. We will have a table set up inside the entrance for you to drop off your documentation to staff. If needed we can make copies for you. Only one person at a time will be allowed inside, you MUST wear a face mask and practice social distancing. 

Thank you and we look forward to meeting all of you! Davison Cardinal's Nest Staff
