Enrollment
Enrollment
Our school is open all year, with a regular 10-month session September through June roughly following the Seattle Public Schools district calendar.
We offer year-long enrollment if there are openings. There is a $150 enrollment fee which applies at the time of enrollment in order to hold your spot. In case of waitlists, we will take into account trying to have a diverse and balanced group of children, with returning families and siblings having priority.
Requirements
Our recommended starting age is somewhere in the 2.5 - 3 year old range - once they are able to change their clothes with assistance and can initiate toiletting on their own, as we do not change diapers and expect children to have the body awareness needed to use the toilet independently.
For older children, familiarity with Montessori education is great to have but not required.
We welcome children through Kindergarten age - we love our older students who are able to be great role models for the younger children and bloom into capable and empathetic leaders.

We have open spots for the current school year for a mid-November start date.

2024 - 2025 information
Enrollment is not yet open, but we are already scheduling interested family visits!
We will hold an open house event in February (date TBD).
Returning families, siblings, and alumnae families have priority for enrollment. Other children will be considered looking for balance in our classroom - ages, genders, and other diversity factors.
