Pre-Enrollment

Visit

Before a child enters the school, we encourage the parent to attend a Parent Group Tour to learn about our program, our philosophy, the Montessori method and school policies and procedures.

If you missed the group tour, (Jan. 15) we still encourage you to submit an application. If your child is accepted you will then have the opportunity to come in and view the school before making a final decision.

Acceptance Process

Students are accepted by way of lottery until February 14, 2020. Any students not accepted after the initial pull are put on the wait list, any applications received after Feb. 14 are added to the wait list.

Acceptance letters are sent by mail in mid-March. If you do not receive an acceptance letter please give us a call the first week of April to check your child's status on the wait list.

After the child is accepted, a non-refundable registration fee of $50 is required only for those applying for the before- and after-school program. Additionally, all children who are 3 years old are required to pay this fee.
