Why Us?
We, at Grace Montessori, take very seriously our responsibility to guide your child through a world of discovery on the path to constructing a secure, balanced personality with an active, competent mind. The happy balance of freedom to explore and work within a prepared, orderly environment, filled with specially designed mind-engaging sensorial materials and activities, is the hallmark of the Montessori learning environment. The art of the Directress is to respect the freedom of each child to forge his own unique path of learning and growth energized by his natural curiosity; but vigilant to inspire and encourage each child to take in hand a rich enough wealth of activities and experiences to ensure successful development.
At Grace Montessori, our Directresses are dedicated to guiding your child in the right direction. Parents who select Grace Montessori School have greater peace of mind and confidence when they leave their children in those early years. Grace Montessori is different because of the ongoing support the parents, children and teaching staff receive.

The admission policy and process for Grace Montessori School typically include several key steps:
-
Application Submission: Parents or guardians need to complete and submit an application form provided by the school. This form usually collects basic information about the child and the family.
-
Parent Meeting or School Tour: Many Montessori schools, including Grace Montessori, often require parents to attend a meeting or tour of the school. This allows parents to learn more about the Montessori approach and for the school to assess if the family's values align with theirs.
-
Child Observation or Assessment: Depending on the age of the child, there might be an observation session where staff assess the child's readiness for the Montessori environment. This is not always required for very young children.
-
Interview: Some schools conduct interviews with both the child and parents to ensure mutual understanding of expectations and to clarify any questions.
-
Admission Decision: After completing these steps, the school will notify parents of their admission decision. This can vary in timing depending on the school's policies.
