After receiving
information about Little Ones Montessori, carefully review our Mission Statement and the
Guiding Principles. Please call and arrange for a tour or observation. Parents are
required to visit before applying.
If the parent(s) feels
our school might be a good educational match for their family and child, the Directress
and parents will schedule an interview or greeting with both parents and child(ren).
This is mainly so we can all meet each other. The informal interview consists of
a general discussion with the parents about our school, our program, and how the child
might adapt to the new environment. Parents are invited to ask questions. While we
talk, the child is invited to join the other children as they work or play. The
greeting lasts approximately 30 minutes.
If the Directress and
parents feel that Little Ones Montessori matches the family’s and school’s educational
goals for the child, the parent will receive an application and information packet.
Complete the application and send it with the $200.00 non-refundable, non-transferable
Registration Fee to the school.
Acceptance is based on
several factors examined on an individual basis, the most important of which is the match
of the family’s and the school’s educational goals for the child. If all parties feel
there is a match and there is remaining space, the child will be accepted.
Siblings of present qualifying children are
given priority. New applicants are considered for the remaining spaces.
Applicants who have been
accepted for all reasons other than space availability will be placed on our waiting list.
Parents will be notified when a place becomes available.
