During this initial phone call or e-mail, parents may set up a visit to tour the school. During this visit, parents will spend time observing in one of our classrooms. This observation time is a wonderful opportunity to see how the Montessori teaching method can benefit your child. As an observer, you will not be interacting with the children or adults in the classroom, but instead seeing firsthand how our students interact with their peers and teachers, care for their environment, and select and complete activities during their morning work cycle. This observation is an adult-only visit. This may sound unconventional, but we have found that parents are better able to observe the classroom in its typical state if they are not caring for their own children at the same time. After observing in the classroom, parents have a chance to meet with Diane and ask any questions about the program, their observation period, or how their child might acclimate to the Montessori educational setting.

All potential students will visit the school and meet with one of our Head Teachers. Once we have completed re-enrollment for our current families in February, we will offer enrollment to families in our waiting pool until our classrooms are fully enrolled for the upcoming school year. Students who are not offered enrollment at that point remain in the waiting pool, and families will be contacted  should an opening become available later in the school year.
