REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

ENROLLMENT
The first step is to call to set up a time to visit the school. When you come to visit, we will give you an Application and a Parent Handbook. The Handbook contains a lot of information that you are required, by Social Services, to read before you sign a contract with the school. Applications are accepted on an on-going basis. Admission is on a "first come, first served basis" and a waiting list is maintained for future openings.

  • Please make an appointment to come visit the school. Observation time in the classroom is limited to thirty minutes. All observations are done without your child. After your observation, a meeting will be scheduled with the director to answer all your questions and provide you with additional information on our policies and programs.

  • You may be offered an application. Please send the completed application to the school with the application / enrollment fee of $150.00. This fee does not apply to tuition and is non- refundable.

  • Once the office has received your application, we will contact you to make an appointment for your child to visit the classroom. This meeting is important in assessing whether the Montessori environment is appropriate for your child and to make sure there are no concerns regarding your child’s readiness for our program.

  • The school reserves the right to accept or reject this application and also to request the withdrawal of any child if this action is thought to be of benefit to the child or the school. Upon acceptance to the school, you will be offered a contract. Please return the signed contract to the school within 10 days in order to reserve a spot for your child in our program.
