Enrollment

The first thing you should do is schedule an observation and orientation meeting to ensure our program is consistent with your family’s beliefs and philosophy concerning education. 

We welcome visitors by appointment only. Given time without distraction or disruption, Montessori classrooms develop into normalized environments where children are absorbed in their work and confident of their ability to engage in learning either in small groups or alone. If observers and visitors come into the classroom before the children have learned to attend to their own work, the children will most certainly respond to the stimulation of observers and the very atmosphere that the observer has come to see will not exist.

During the Summer there are obviously no classes to observe, but we are happy to offer you a tour and talk to you!  We can also arrange a meeting with your child's new Guide to get to know each other!
