If/when we return to in-person tours and your child is already 2 years old, we highly recommend that your child is present to see how he/she integrates around the classroom.

Applicants are evaluated and placed based on your child's readiness, potential success in the Montessori classroom, and space within our program. Once accepted, parents must submit a complete enrollment package.
