Policies and Procedures
Admission
The Montessori Unlimited admission process begins with a tour and interview. This gives you an opportunity to become acquainted with our school and receive a personal orientation to the Montessori classroom. Our Administrative Director meets with you and may meet with your child to ascertain your child's readiness.
It is our policy to consider each child's admission and placement individually - regardless of race, religion, color, gender or national origin - and to admit each student on a six-week provisional basis. At the end of the six-week period, we talk with you about your child's progress.
Registration Fee
Upon enrollment, a registration fee is required for each child and is renewable each spring when you register your child for the following fall program. Registration fees are not refundable.
Enrollment Forms
For your child's safety and to comply with state regulations, all Montessori Unlimited enrollment papers and health records must be completed before your child can begin school. These records and forms are kept in the school office and must be updated as changes occur in order to comply with licensing requirements. These documents are very important, as they also specify who is authorized to pick up your child from school, or who should be contacted in case of an emergency.
Tuition Policy
The tuition is based on a formula, which spreads the school year tuition over an academic year calendar. Like many other private schools, tuition may be paid on a monthly basis and is due and payable on the first of each month. A late fee is assessed for all tuition paid after the 5th business day of any month. A service fee is charged in the event that a check is returned. There is no reduction in monthly tuition for months including holidays, emergency or all-school closings, sick days or family vacation days.
Our program follows the local public school calendar as closely as possible. Major holidays, emergency and weather-related closings, and the days before and after the school year are ones where the school is closed. Winter and spring vacation days, conference days and teacher workdays are days the academic program is closed. Closings are non-refundable in the tuition formula. Additional fees are assessed for Enrichment Programs and Extra Curricular Programs.
