Just got a callback from the nursery school director. Our conversation started out like this:
Rivka: We were very surprised to get your letter. I guess we've had a terrible misunderstanding, because we thought that Alex was already in the class.
Director: (instantly.) Well, she is.
It turns out that they're trying to standardize their application process, and that what should have happened is that we should have gotten that letter as soon as we put in our application. Instead they sent out a whole batch, late in the year. (Director: "I should make some other calls, so people don't have heart attacks.")
So we're set. Alex will be starting in May and attending either three or four full days per week, depending on whether or not Michael gets a job that allows him to work a compressed/flextime schedule. The director assures me that it's a "great" and "really cute" class.
Whew. I wish I'd gotten through to her last week; it would have saved us some worry.
