Admission Information
Available classes
We accept children between the ages of 3 years - 9 years old for our Montessori Primary & Lower Elementary Classes. We teach to the child’s needs and not his or her age and may begin higher "grade level" skills as needed. Being potty trained is a requirement in our primary classroom.
How to apply
Enrollment Paperwork
To have your child begin their first day of school, you must have the contract, registration form, discipline & guidance policy, admissions form, vaccination records and health statement from your child’s physician. We do not accept vaccine exemptions. You will also be required to attend a brief parent orientation to go over the Parent Handbook which is located in our online Family Portal. We will hold a group parent orientation the week before the first day of school.
Registration Policies
Filling out the admissions form does not guarantee enrollment for your child. Your child’s enrollment is guaranteed as soon as you have officially submitted all forms, registration & supply fees and the first month’s tuition. If you have questions regarding tuition and other fees, please refer to the Tuition page.
If Watauga Montessori is able to offer enrollment to your child, we will begin the application/enrollment process. This process includes completing the school required paperwork which includes an application, emergency contact information, immunization records, physician's statement of health, policy acceptance, and collection of materials fee.
A mandatory Parent Orientation is required before your child's first day, in which school staff will discuss the Parent Handbook and address any questions. The school will schedule a Parent Orientation prior to the first day of school. Any incoming students that enroll later in the year will arrange a time in which the parents can meet with the Directress for this orientation.
