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 on Sunday, March 25, 2025 from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

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.

Additional Information on Tuition

1. Fees: A non-refundable registration fee of $150.00 is required with the registration form and registration documents.

2. Sibling Discount: A sibling discount is available. Registration of a second child entitles a family to a 10% discount off the lowest tuition figure. Registration of any additional children entitles the family to a 15% discount off of the lowest tuition figure. Please Note: Children that receive a scholarship or other discount will not receive the sibling discount.

3. Tuition Payments: Monthly invoices will be emailed. Invoices can be paid by submitting cash, check and money orders to the school office. Credit card payments are also accepted (additional fees are applied). For credit card payments use the link on our website for Xpress-pay. Many families set up automatic payments with their financial institution. Those payments are sent to the school through the mail.

4. No refunds will be made for days missed due to illness, snow, vacations, and holidays or if parents withdraw their child from school for any personal or professional reason. Refunds will be made only if the child is withdrawn at the request of the school. There will be no refund of monies for any other reason throughout the school year.
