Enrollment
Admissions & Tuition
It starts with a visit, not a form. We don’t ask families to apply to a school they haven’t stood inside.
Ready to apply? Families complete registration through our enrollment portal — most families visit first.
How enrollment works
Six steps from first look to first day.

We reach out

Payment plan options are available.
Please ask school staff during enrollment and we’ll walk you through the options and what suits your family.
The tuition deposit holds your child's place for the upcoming school year and is applied to tuition. Snacks and milk are included. Families may pack lunch from home or join the optional lunch program. No nuts of any kind, including peanut butter, may be packed, because of allergies in our classrooms. Questions about payment policies are best answered directly — please call or ask us.

Questions parents ask
Before you apply.
What ages do you serve?
Our Toddler program is for children ages 2 to 3, and our Primary program is for ages 3 to 6.
What are your hours?
The school day runs 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Toddler families may choose a half day ending at 12:30 p.m. Before- and after-school care extends the day from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for both programs.
Do you offer half days?
Yes, for Toddler families — 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., five days a week. The Primary program is full day.
How do the payment plans work?
Payment plan options are available. Please ask school staff during enrollment — we'll go through the options with you and help you choose the one that suits your family.
What is the tuition deposit for?
The $300 deposit holds your child's place for the upcoming school year and is applied toward tuition. It is non-refundable.
What about lunch and snacks?
Snacks and milk are included in tuition. You can pack lunch from home or join the optional lunch program at $8 per day attending. Please pack no nuts of any kind, including peanut butter — we have children with allergies.
My child has never been in a Montessori classroom. Is that a problem?
No. Most children who join us are new to Montessori. Children are shown each material individually when they're ready for it, so a child who starts later isn't behind — they're simply at their own place in the sequence.
How will I hear about my child's day?
We use a private family communication system for daily updates and school messages, and we hold parent–teacher conferences during the year. We'll set you up when you enroll.
Do you have openings for Fall 2026?
Availability changes by program and age, so the honest answer is to ask us directly — we'll tell you exactly where things stand for your child's age group. Call (336) 298-2660 or book a tour.
