Parents may submit an online application form with a recent picture of their child and a $100.00 application fee (non-refundable) by click on button below.

After receiving the application form, we contact parents to set up a time for their child to visit a classroom. This visit takes place in the afternoon after our current students are dismissed. It is simply a time for your child to meet a teacher and do a few early activities with them. There is no screening or aptitude test involved. During the visit to a Primary class, a teacher will present a few activities for the child to see if they are ready and open to a Montessori environment. At this time, parents meet with an administrator to further discuss their admission needs in terms of educational goals and other considerations.

During an infant or toddler school visit an administrator will join the family in the classroom. The child will explore the classroom and interact with the teacher in the presence of the parents. The adult will have some quiet conversation to begin to get to know the child and family while the child explores.

If the child has attended another school or daycare center, parents should sign a Record and Information Release Form so that eBridge may obtain written assessments from the child’s previous schools for review during the admission process. We may request teacher recommendations when necessary.

Acceptance decisions will be made based on children’s readiness and families’ commitment to Montessori education. Once accepted, parents may use our Online Enrollment to fill out additional forms required by the state, sign the enrollment agreement, and confirm the tuition invoice.

Parents register their child by completing Online Enrollment, submitting $1000 tuition deposit and applicable tuition within two weeks. The tuition deposit will be applied to the last tuition payment when a child finishes the entire program. A child is fully registered after Online Enrollment and tuition deposit is submitted. If a parent has to withdraw a child from the program before completion of the program, the school requests at least TWO months written notice by filling out the withdrawal form in order to refund the tuition deposit.

Waiting List – When eBridge Montessori School has full enrollment, the applicant’s names are placed on a waiting list. As soon as space becomes available, we contact parents to start the admission process.

Based on the state regulation, we may take infants beginning at six weeks, toddlers from fifteen months old; primary from two years and nine months old; and elementary from six years old.

A child’s toilet training status is not an eligibility requirement for primary program enrollment. Children can be either fully toilet trained or in the middle of toilet training process. All primary children should wear underwear, instead of diapers or pullups, when they start the primary program.

Infants and toddlers may sign up for 4 or 5 half or full days per week; preschool and preK students may attend 5 half or full days per week; Kindergarten and elementary students should attend 5 full days per week.

The school administrators and teaching staff work together to make admission decisions. We take into consideration each child’s openness to and readiness for the prepared environment as well as prospective parents’ commitment to complete a Montessori education. Placement in a classroom is based on the needs of the classes with regard to balance of age, gender and ethnic diversity.

It is in the best interest of children and essential to a Montessori education that families allow children to complete their kindergarten year in a Montessori environment and take the full benefit of Montessori education. Occasionally if enrolled very young in primary, a child may stay in their classroom for four years in order to be fully prepared to transition to an elementary environment. We strive to work with families who are willing to commit to a partnership with us to provide their children the best possible Montessori experience.

In each classroom as children get older they are able to take on new roles and benefit from learning and teaching in the mixed age group. When children complete their kindergarten year in a Montessori classroom, they have the opportunity to develop their leadership skill, refine their skills through repetition and to see familiar ideas from new perspectives.
