Montessori School Application
CountryGardenMontessori.net familiarizes you with the Montessori Program, our school, its philosophy & curriculum. Once ready, application and enrollment begin with a scheduled visit to the school. Appointments can be scheduled online by clicking the green button below or calling the school. We also host OPEN HOUSES in January and February.
You are encouraged to bring your child when you visit the school. You are also welcome to schedule during class hours if you’d like to observe in the classroom. During in-classroom observation, it is more beneficial to you, as well as the students currently in the class, to come without your child.
Admission is not guaranteed until we confirm an opening for your child. After we’ve established your child’s placement, the enrollment fee must be received to secure your child’s space for fall 2025.
We look forward to meeting you.
After visiting the school and determining it’s a great fit, we’ll send you a link to begin the enrollment process.
Enrollment includes creating an account, selecting your program, completing the enrollment form, and paying the enrollment fee. Enrollment applications can be submitted year-round. However, applications and fees are due by January for the next school year.

Our day starts with Circle Time, where we come together as a group. Afterward, the children engage in a variety of lessons during the work period, followed by snack time. If time allows, we continue with a second work cycle. The morning ends with outdoor play on the playground, before dismissal.
Parents take turns providing snacks for the class throughout the school year, on a rotating basis.
Each year varies. But we normally have between 14 – 16 children each day.
The first step is to visit the school. When you're ready to enroll, head to our website and click on the Enrollment tab. Then, select Tuition and go to the enrollment section. Click Enroll, complete the form, and submit the enrollment fee.
Country Garden Montessori School accepts children ages 3 – 6. If a child is 2 ½, is
potty trained and developmentally ready, he/she can enroll.
Montessori promotes self-discipline by encouraging children to make choices, experience natural consequences, and resolve conflicts in a peaceful way, with teacher guidance when needed.
Montessori focuses on child-centered learning. Children are allowed to explore at their own pace, with hands-on materials. Teachers act as guides in following the progress of the child. Montessori fosters independence, creativity, and critical thinking.
Montessori classrooms have mixed-age groups, allowing older children to mentor younger ones, fostering collaboration, empathy, and communication among peers. The age groups are toddler, children’s house (ages 3-6), lower elementary (ages 6-9), upper elementary (ages 9-12), and middle school.
Drop off is between 8:30 and 8:45 in the morning.
Montessori classrooms are designed to accommodate various learning styles. Each child is given individual attention based on their developmental needs. Teachers observe and follow the child so lessons can be adapted to meet the child’s needs.
At Country Garden Montessori School, we encourage children to develop independence, self reliance, and a love of learning.
