ADMISSION TOUR

The admission process to the school starts with a tour of the school where we give you a detailed tour of the school. It is also the time we asses whether the school is a good fit for your child.

The school admits children aged 18 month through kindergarten. years. All programs and activities are made available to all students at the school.

We offer a potty training program for a small additional fee.

Before we enroll a student, we would prefer to meet with both parents and the child. We do not discriminate against children with emotional or physical handicaps.

Each child will be considered on an individual basis based on the child’s ability to benefit from our program and how the child will adapt and integrate into the culture of the school. Each child is admitted on a probationary period for three months. In rare cases, we may ask a parent to withdraw their child from school because of severe behavioral problems.

We also pay close attention to parents and will give preference to those parents who take an active interest in their child’s education at the school, can devote sufficient time to their child’s needs and is willing to listen to suggestions and implement a program of action for the development of their child.

Above all, we are looking for parents who can provide a loving and nurturing home environment, take responsibility for bringing their child to school at a consistent time, pay attention to their food and clothing requirements and are responsive to the needs of their child at school.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

There shall be regularly scheduled parent/teacher conferences. These meetings shall take the form of private conferences and shall be held at least once a year.

Additional conferences regarding specific matters may be scheduled at the request of the parents or teachers at any time throughout the year.

School Pictures

School pictures are taken once a year

Classroom Observation

Parents are encouraged to observe children at work. Arrangements must be made with the Director of the school to schedule visitations.

All observations are “passive” in order to maintain the classroom’s order and effectiveness and all observers must refrain from interacting with the children. The goal of observation is to witness what takes place in the classroom without the observer in the room as the class actually functions.

Classroom observations are the basis for all communication with family explanations in parent meetings, discussions in parent conferences, or recommended readings can all only go so far in helping parents and families understand and appreciate how the Montessori Method is implemented in the classrooms.
