We are finishing out the 2024/2025 school year as DCCNS and will make the official transition to Poppy Preschool this summer. All registration materials for next year will say “Poppy Preschool” while the website and Facebook pages will remain DCCNS until the official change.

Registration is now closed for the 2024/2025 school year.

How to apply for the upcoming school year (2025/2026):

  1. If you’re new to the school, we encourage you to attend our Open House on March 1st, 2025 from 9:00 am and 11:00 am.

  2. After March 1st, three buttons will appear below to apply to your preferred class. Priority registration period for families new to the school will be from March 1st to March 8th. If there are more applications than spots, a lottery will take place on Monday, March 9th. Applications after March 9th will be placed on a first come, first serve basis.

  3. If you apply after the priority registration period (March 1st - March 8th), the registrar will contact you letting you know if there is an opening available in the class. If there is an opening they will offer you a spot.

  4. Once you accept the class offered to you, you will receive an email from our online portal system, Brightwheel. This will provide the links to all the necessary paperwork, including licensing forms, family information, etc. Your spot in the class is not secure until you have submitted your paperwork and paid the non-refundable enrollment fee.

Please note, DCCNS follows the Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD) calendar and guidelines for both class scheduling and age eligibility requirements. Link here to view the DJUSD calendar.

For more information please apply online and/or email the registrar (for items not covered above).

If you would like more information about our tuition assistance program, please email our treasurer.


We have loved our experience at DCCNS. Everything from the great teachers to the lifelong friends made while at the school, gave us a great feeling of community! To this day, when passing by the school, my kids yell out, “There’s my school!” I am thankful for the love and care we shared with all of the little ones!
