We invite you to watch this short video to experience a classroom, campus, and community that make schools like Montessori Seeds of Education unique.
Our admissions process is designed to help both your family and our school determine whether Montessori Seeds of Education is the right fit.
Each step allows us to build a strong partnership before your child begins their Montessori journey. |
Step 1. School Tour
The first step in our admissions process is to schedule a personal tour of Montessori Seeds of Education.
During your visit, you will learn about our Montessori philosophy, programs, classrooms, daily routines, tuition, and what makes our school unique. The tour also provides an opportunity for us to get to know one another and determine whether MSOE is the right fit for your child, your family, and our school community.
If you have a few initial questions before scheduling a tour, we are happy to help. However, we encourage families to save most questions for their visit, as seeing the classrooms, meeting our staff, and experiencing the Montessori environment firsthand often provides the best context and answers.
Parents who would like to observe a classroom while school is in session are welcome to schedule a classroom observation. Classroom observations are optional, must be scheduled in advance, and generally begin approximately six weeks after the start of the school year to allow each classroom community to become well established and settled into its daily routine.
If, after your tour, you would like to continue with the admissions process, you may proceed to Step 2: Submit the Online Application and $50 Application Fee.

Step 3. Child Visit
After we receive your completed Admission Application and application fee, we will contact you to schedule your child's classroom visit.
The purpose of the visit is to provide your child with an opportunity to experience our Montessori environment while allowing our teachers to get to know them in a natural classroom setting. Visits are scheduled at a mutually convenient time for both the family and the classroom.
The length of the visit varies based on your child's age and developmental stage. For example, a Toddler may visit for approximately 45 minutes, while an Elementary student may spend a full school day in the classroom. Some children may benefit from additional visit time over multiple days to allow both the child and our teachers the opportunity to become more comfortable and to help us make the most informed admissions decision.
During the visit, we observe how your child interacts with the classroom environment, teachers, and other children. We are simply looking to understand how your child responds to a new environment and whether Montessori Seeds of Education is the right fit for your child, your family, and our school community.
Our goal is not to assess academic achievement or determine what your child already knows. Skills such as recognizing letters, numbers, colors, writing, or reading are not factors in our admissions decisions. Instead, we are looking for indicators that your child is likely to thrive within our Montessori environment and that we can best support their individual growth and development.
Every admissions decision is made thoughtfully and individually. Our goal is to build classroom communities where every child has the opportunity to thrive while ensuring we can meet the unique needs of each student and family.

Step 5. Welcome to The MSOE Community
Once your enrollment paperwork and enrollment deposit have been received, your child is officially enrolled at Montessori Seeds of Education. Welcome to our school community!
The first two weeks of school serve as a transition and observation period. During this time, our teachers and administration work closely with your child and family to support a smooth adjustment to the classroom community and Montessori environment.
This transition period allows both the school and your family to ensure that Montessori Seeds of Education is the right educational fit. If significant concerns arise indicating that the program may not be meeting the needs or expectations of the child, family, or school community, those concerns will be discussed openly and addressed as early as possible. Unless extenuating circumstances exist, any decision regarding the continuation of enrollment should be made within the first two weeks.
Our goal is to establish a strong partnership from the very beginning and create an environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive.
