How enrollment works
Get in touch
Call 5122199191 or email info@montessorioaks.com. Tell us your child's age and the days you need. We will schedule your visit for a weekday morning, so you can see the uninterrupted morning work cycle.
Tour the room
See the classroom your child would join and meet the teachers who run it. Your visit starts with a tour of the school. Then you sit and observe a class at work. Before you leave, you meet our administrative staff to ask any question you have.
Enroll and settle in
Complete enrollment and plan a first week that suits your child's routine. The visit introduced you to the room and the teachers. Now you choose the days that fit your family. Ask us how the first weeks will go.
What to have ready
Most families have enrollment forms ready first. You will also need a health form and an immunization record. Emergency contacts and the names of people authorized to pick up your child complete the file. Ask the office for the current list.
Pack a full change of clothes and label every piece. Add outdoor gear for the season and nap items if your child rests. A comfort object from home is welcome. Write your child's name on all of it.
Sort out the drop-off routine before the first day. Decide who will pick up and add them to your list. Think about how you want to hear about the day. Tell your child's teacher what helps your child settle.
The first weeks
The first days are often shorter. Your child may bring a familiar object from home. A teacher greets your child by name at the door. You say goodbye the same way each morning.
At pickup, teachers tell you how the day went. They mention what your child worked on and how they ate and rested. Most children settle within a few weeks. Ask if you want to know more.

What families ask
What about tuition?
Ask about current rates when you call or tour. They depend on your child's age and schedule.
What ages do you take?
Children from 6 weeks to 6 Years.
When can my child start?
Enrollment runs throughout the year. Call 5122199191 to ask about a place.
Can we visit before deciding?
A tour is how most families decide. Children come along, and we show you the rooms where they would spend their days.
What should my child bring on the first day?
For a first day, families usually pack a change of clothes, a comfort object, and anything else their child needs. Label everything with your child's name. The office can tell you about meals and rest items.
How do you handle the first weeks?
The first days are often shorter while your child gets used to the room. A familiar object from home can help. At pickup, teachers tell you how your child ate, rested, and played, and how settling is going.
What does a typical day include?
A day is built around arrival, play, and learning, with meals and rest in between. Children also spend time outdoors. Pickup closes the day the same way each afternoon. Ask us for the schedule your child's age group follows.
How will I know how my child is doing?
Families usually hear about the day at pickup. Teachers share what your child worked on and how they ate and rested. You can ask for more detail whenever you want it.
Do you offer part-time or flexible schedules?
Schedules depend on your child's age group and what is open at the time, so the office can tell you exactly which options fit your family. Ask what is available for your child and we will walk you through the choices.
What if there is no place right now?
You can ask us to let you know when a place opens for your child's age group. We take your details and call when something comes up, though we cannot promise a date.
What should I ask on the tour?
Ask about the daily hours and how the year is paced. Ask what children eat, who handles pickups, and how the first weeks are arranged for a child who is new. Ask how the day runs from arrival to rest, and how teachers share what they notice about your child with you.
