The Montessori philosophy is unique. We offer an education that focuses on supporting the child’s development, at their pace.Our interview process is extensive to ensure that you get to know the Montessori philosophy and our program to determine whether it is a fit for your family.
We look forward to getting to know you and your child better through this process.
Step 1
Application
The first step in the enrolment process is to submit an application and complete the $75 application fee. If you have submitted an application without the fee, we are unable to hold a space on our waitlist or proceed through the enrolment process.
Step 2
Class Observation
Once you have submitted the application and fee you will be invited to observe our classroom in session, through our secure observation vestibule. This is an opportunity to observe the class in session and see the children at work in the Montessori environment. It will give you an opportunity to understand the subject areas your child will be working on, as well as the unique work environment. Take note of the calm and independent nature of the children at work. Note the teacher as a guide, and the minimal intervention of adults in the children’s work - this is truly a children’s house, to use Dr. Montessori’s words.
The class observation is for parents only.
Step 3
Class Tour
After you have observed the class in session, your child will be invited to tour the classroom. This is an opportunity to meet the teacher and get introduced to the materials in the Montessori environment. Due to covid restrictions, we are unable to welcome adults into the classroom, however you will have an opportunity to watch your child’s eyes light up as they interact in the classroom, through our large windows.
We understand that each family has their own needs when identifying schools for their children. Because of our focus on providing a true Montessori education, we require a commitment to complete a three-year-cycle in our program. This is to ensure that the hard work your child puts in during their first two years, are recognised in the third year. Following the class observation and tour, if we are a fit for your family, an offer of enrolment will be extended. During enrolment season a number of offers are extended simultaneously and we are unfortunately unable to hold a space for your child until the enrolment package and deposit is complete.
