A tour is arranged and a family member and the child tour the school with an administrator who will explain how a Montessori classroom operates. This is a time to ask questions to determine how your child will do in this environment. An enrollment form should be completed and then the child will be placed on our waiting list until we have an opening. Students and siblings of those already attending the school will have first priority for new year enrollment. Tours can be scheduled by calling our office at 480-464-2800.
The child should be at least three years of age and be toilet trained. To provide maximum advantage of the Montessori method, including the kindergarten year, we recommend a three-year program. Manageable behavior and obedience are expected. The child should be able to follow simple directions, such as, “Put the puzzle on the shelf and come sit down.” If no spaces are available in the school, the child may be placed on a waiting list after submitting a completed enrollment form, having an interview and tour with the administrator. Placement is dependent upon space available. Children may be enrolled at any time during the school year if space becomes available.

A child is eligible for admission to kindergarten if the child is five years of age. A child must reach the age of five before September 1 of the current school year. All students residing in the state of Arizona are eligible. Our classes fill up quickly, so please submit all enrollment requests in a timely manner. Once classes are full, students may be placed on a waiting list and be notified as openings occur.
Wait list Procedures
After a parent and child have taken a tour and filled out an enrollment form, they are then placed on a waiting list. The wait list is organized by grade and the date the enrollment form was received. Because we try to enroll entire families at one time and space may open up in one grade and not another, this may cause another family to jump ahead in line or be moved back. We try to be as fair as possible with this and try to keep your family in the same place in line for that grade as we can. Because of this, it is difficult for us to tell you where you are in line if you have a large family enrolling across multiple grades.
