Brookeside Montessori Admissions

The admissions process is outlined below and our tuition information is available online for your convenience. Enrollment for the school year begins in January and is ongoing as space permits.

Step 1 Parent Visitation

To begin the process, please schedule a visit by contacting our school, or we welcome you to attend our annual Open House the first Sunday in February.

Step 2 Child Visitation

Your child will visit one of our classrooms. They will have a chance to work with classroom materials, interact with peers, and meet classroom teachers. The child visitation does not guarantee a space for your child.

Step 3 Invitation to Enroll

Decisions regarding admission will be communicated to you within a week following your child’s classroom visit. The most important factor in our decision-making is whether your child will thrive and experience success in our unique learning environment.

To complete your child’s enrollment a registration and tuition form will need to be completed and returned with accompanying documents. A non-refundable registration fee of $150.00 is required with registration. Enrollment for the school year begins in January and is ongoing as space permits.
