Admissions Philosophy & Enrollment Commitment
Our intent is for enrolled families to commit to long-range educational goals and to complete the full Montessori Primary cycle, typically two to three years. We prioritize enrollment based on this commitment, as a complete Primary experience best supports a child’s academic, social, and emotional development.

 

Readiness & Disclosure Requirements
Prior to acceptance, families must notify the school of any individual needs we may be asked to support. This may include, but is not limited to, physical, emotional, or intellectual considerations; medications; dietary restrictions or allergies; behavioral concerns; or the need for alternative learning tools. Children must be independently toilet trained prior to enrollment. This includes using the toilet consistently at home and school and independently following toileting routines.

​

Holding a Space
In some cases, families may need to delay a start date due to age or toileting readiness. When space allows, Lovejoy Montessori can hold enrollment for families committed to joining the program. Holding fees may apply and are discussed individually during the admissions process. Full details are provided in the Community Handbook.

​

How to Apply
If you are interested in joining our classroom community, please email info@lovejoymontessori.com to request a Parent Intake Form. If space is available, we will contact you to schedule a classroom tour. To maintain a high-quality learning environment, Lovejoy Montessori enrolls no more than 10 children total, in accordance with Oregon’s 1:10 adult-to-child ratio. If there is not currently an opening, families may join our waitlist at no cost. When a space becomes available, we will reach out to schedule a tour. Enrollment paperwork, tuition, and fees are completed at that time if you choose to accept the opening.

Integrating New Students
New students are thoughtfully integrated throughout the year as older children move on. Each child begins on a designated start date, allowing time to acclimate while supporting the balance and rhythm of the classroom community.

We are committed to equal opportunity and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, religion, or physical characteristics in employment or admissions.
