We encourage families to call to tour our beautiful campus to become more familiar with the methods and structures of Montessori. Tours are done on Monday mornings so families can see children during their morning work cycle. Once registration and acceptance into the program has taken place, families will complete a classroom observation and prior to the fall school year, will be invited to attend a meeting with the classroom guide to go over any additional needed information.
It is in the best interest of the child when joining a Montessori program to be active and attend for the entire 3 year cycle ( dependent upon their age of entry). This extended time within one prepared classroom environment allows the children to gain independence, solidify skills and to establish long term and foundational relationships with peers and the classroom adults. We know that this may be a commitment you had not anticipated but it is worth it. Let us show you why!
