Welcome to the North Mason Schools Mary E. Theler Early Learning Center. This center provides birth-to-five services for children and families as a coordinated and comprehensive community-learning hub for North Mason School District and those who the district are in partnership. Programs are provided at no cost to families.
Program Offerings:
Although there are different criteria needed to qualify for each of these programs, the staff at the center will join forces to create an inclusionary climate of planned learning activities for children of all abilities to participate in at designated times during the school day as much as possible.
Limited bus transportation to and from school is provided for the center’s classroom programs. If your child is offered bus service an adult must be present at the bus stop for the ride to school and again to meet the child at the stop on the return trip at the end of the school day.

How to Apply:
In order to make applying for our programs easier for families, we have created one Pre-Application for all program offerings. Preschool opportunities at the Mary Theler Early Learning Center are based on clear parameters set forth by the State and Federal Government. Our goal is to provide early childhood services based on these parameters. Space is limited and not all children who apply will be placed in a program option. Placement into program options are determined through a screening process and not based on family request. All families must complete an application. Applications will be screened based on State and Federal guidelines, and families will be notified of possible placement in mid-August.

Documentation:
To expedite the process, we ask that families begin collecting the following documentation. Our pre-application allows you to upload these documents online -or- if this is a hardship you may call 360-478-6889 to coordinate other options for collecting documentation. We cannot process your pre-application without this information.

Completing the Pre-Application helps us determine the best placement for your child.
