Admission Policy

Children who can be separated from their parent and who demonstrate independence with the Montessori materials in addition to an ability to cooperate are admitted to the program.

​

Admission Procedure

Interested parents are requested to tour the school first and learn about the program. Secondly, the parents are requested to observe the program to see if it will meet the needs of their child. Third, the parents are requested to visit with their child. The purpose of the visit is to provide the child with an opportunity to meet with the directress alone and to be shown some of the Montessori materials. It is intended to make an easy first encounter with the Montessori environment for the child and to determine if the child has an interest in the materials. Following the visit, the directress will notify the parent, by phone, of acceptance generally within one week of the visit. 
 

Admission Process

Applications are accepted on a first come, first serve basis. When a class is full, applicants are placed on a waiting list in order of the date of their application. Returning and former students, their siblings, and those previously enrolled at other Montessori schools have priority over new admissions. There is a non-refundable deposit of $100 due at the time of acceptance to DeColores.
