One-time fees at enrollment
A registration fee and a materials fee are due when you enroll. Both are set out in the full tuition schedule.
Part-time option (exclusively for two-year-olds, 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM) is available in Toddler Primary. Primary and Elementary are offered full-time only.
Good to know
- Tuition reserves your child's place for the full school year (September–August).
- Fees remain the same for absences, illnesses, vacations, or school closures.
- We do not offer make-up days or day-switching for missed attendance.
- Children in diapers or learning to toilet may join the Toddler Primary program; the Primary program requires children to be fully toilet-trained.
Rates are subject to change year to year. For the full schedule — every program, both schedules, and the enrollment fees — just ask and we will send it over.

Admissions questions
Answered
When can my child start?
We enroll year-round. Availability for an immediate start is limited, and we keep a waitlist for families planning a future start. Openings change often — contact the school and we will confirm what is available right now.
What ages do you accept?
Children ages 2 to 7 — Toddler Primary, Primary, and Elementary (TK, Kindergarten, and 1st grade) — all in multi-age Montessori classrooms.
Does my two-year-old need to be potty-trained?
No — our Toddler Primary program welcomes two-year-olds who are still learning to toilet. The Primary program is for children who are fully toilet-trained.
What is included in tuition?
Your child's full Montessori program — including the science, nature, and practical-life work of the classroom. Optional after-school enrichment and extended-care hours are available.
Can I tour before enrolling?
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Schedule a tour to walk the classrooms, meet the guides, and get all your questions answered.
