Admissions Process & Enrollment Commitment
Our intent is for all enrolled families to commit to long-range educational goals and full completion of the program in which the child is enrolled, typically two to three years at the primary level. We prioritize enrollment based on this commitment in order to best support the child by providing a complete Montessori experience.
Prior to acceptance, our school must be notified of individual needs we will be asked to serve. Individual needs may include but are not limited to physical, emotional and intellectual issues, medications your child is receiving, diet restrictions and/or allergies, behavior difficulties, or need for alternative learning tools. Prior to acceptance your child should be independently toileting at home and school, using the toilet on a consistent basis, and following directions in the toileting process.
If your child will not be ready to start by the beginning of September due to age or potty training readiness, we are happy to hold their spot. A monthly holding fee will apply while they are not yet enrolled:
-
1–2 months: 25% of monthly tuition
-
3–5 months: 50% of monthly tuition
This policy helps ensure we can plan accordingly for classroom flow and availability while reserving space for families committed to joining our program. It is also included in the updated Community Handbook.
If you are interested in joining our wonderful classroom community, please contact us at info@lovejoymontessori.com and request a Parent Intake Form. If space is available, we will contact you to schedule a classroom tour. We do not enroll more than 10 children total in our classroom to ensure we stay within the required 1:10 adult to child ratio. If there is currently not an opening in the school, we can add your name to our waitlist for no additional fee and once a spot opens we can schedule a tour and if you would like to join you can fill out enrollment paperwork for admission and pay the tuition and fee at that time.

Tuition & Fees
Tuition includes art and science STEM projects and supplies, gardening, baking, special annual classroom projects and twice daily organic snack. There is a one time $600 Enrollment fee due when your Contract & Rate Agreement is signed. There are no re-enrollment fees or annual supply fees.
Integrating New Students
We gradually integrate new students throughout the year as older children move up in the levels. Each new student begins on a start date that we designate for them. This scheduling permits the child to gradually acclimate and allows the community in the classroom to adjust and receive the new member.
Policies
LMS welcomes all prospective applicants and their families. We are committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all persons and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, religion, or physical characteristics in employment, and admissions policies. We give priority consideration to siblings of enrolled students and to children of alumni families.
