“Her teachers have created a loving, structured, Montessori experience where my children have learned a range of skills, from social and emotional lessons, through practical fine and gross motor skills.”
Admissions & Acceptance Process
Our PreK 3 and PreK 4 slots are limited each school year. We will maintain a waitlist and will notify the first family on the waitlist if a spot opens up. For a detailed overview of our school's application, acceptance, and enrollment process, please see our Enrollment Timeline & Steps.
If you submit an application after the deadline, your child will be added to the end of the waitlist in the order in which applications were received.
