Admissions Process
Our admissions process is thoughtfully crafted to welcome your family into our vibrant school community and to familiarize you with our educational philosophy. Our goal is to work collaboratively with you to determine if our program is the right fit for your child.
Before you begin the application process, we strongly recommend that all families take the time to review our Parent Handbook. This resource provides valuable insights into our school's philosophy, policies, and guidelines, ensuring that you have a comprehensive understanding of what we offer.
We look forward to partnering with you in this journey of discovery and growth for your child!
Enrollment Process Overview
We encourage you to carefully review the steps outlined in our Admissions Process. Should you have any questions at any point, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Step 1: Complete and Submit an Application
Kindly email us at melabambinimontessori@gmail.com
Step 2: Application
Fill out application and all forms that will be needed to fill out through Brightwheel (No application fee)
Step 3: Take a School Tour and Meet with School Director
Upon receipt of the application fee, your family will be invited to schedule a tour of the school. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore our programs in detail and get to meet our School Director to learn about our daily schedules, tuition fees, the timeline for enrollment, and our waitlist process. We are excited to show you around and answer any questions that may arise. During this meeting, the School Director will engage with your family to discuss your child’s educational background, social skills, and emotional growth. You will also review the Admissions Agreement, school policies, and the enrollment package. Finally, your family will receive an enrollment offer, a start date, and information on the final steps to complete the enrollment process.
Step 4: Registration Fee Payment and Submission of Enrollment Forms
To finalize your child’s enrollment, you will need to submit the enrollment forms along with a Registration/ Material Fee of $300. This fee covers the costs associated with processing your child’s enrollment and material fee, both of which are required to reserve your child's place in our program. As is standard in the private education sector, both fees, along with all tuition payments, are non-refundable and non-transferable. This policy enables the school to make necessary commitments to staffing, classroom organization, and materials procurement to secure your child’s enrollment.
A student’s enrollment status is confirmed only when both the Admissions Agreement and the Registration Fee are submitted to the school.
Thank you for considering Mela Bambini Montessori School. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet your family!
