Enrollment is complete for the 2023-2024 school year and we are now accepting applications and scheduling tours for the 2024-2025 school year (one full year in advance).  Tours are by appointment only, and will be offered almost every day at 9:45am beginning October 3, 2024.

 

Applications for 2024-2025 received before November 15, 2023 along with the required $75 application fee, are eligible to receive priority enrollment offered during the first week of December.  Applications submitted after November 15, 2023 will be placed in the general enrollment pool and will be considered on a rolling basis beginning in January of 2024.

​

The new 2023-2024 Schedule of Fees is provided below.  The 2024-2025 Schedule of Fees will be available in early 2024 on this website.

​

We accept a total of 80 students each year. Our lead teachers hold degrees from either AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) or AMS (American Montessori Society).  Both degrees require a Bachelor's degree prior to acceptance, and completion of the two year Master's degree program. The remainder of our staff has been here an average of 15 years (this includes our assistants), so you can expect a professional, caring group of instructors who love children.  All staff are CPR/First Aid trained, and are required to complete additional curriculum and safety training every school year. 

​

Children must turn 3 prior to the first day of school of their year of enrollment and be fully potty trained (able to know when to use the potty and how to use the potty on their own). Potty training demonstrates a level of maturity and control, and fine and gross motor skill development, which is a good indicator of behavioral and academic development.

​

We prefer that you scan and email the application, and drop a $75 check in our office OR make payment by mail.
