The Process
WAITLISTING YOUR CHILD
If you are interested in Arlington Montessori House, regardless of your child’s age, we encourage families to submit a one-time application and application fee. Arlington Montessori House maintains a waitlist for three years out.
If you have any further questions about waitlisting your child, please contact the office.
ELIGIBILITY TO START THE PRIMARY PROGRAM
To begin at AMH, there are two bright line requirements:
The child must be at least two years and eight months at the time of enrollment; and
The child must be developmentally ready to start the AMH program, which includes being able to use the toilet independently.
Mid-year enrollments will be considered on a case by case basis and as space allows.
These requirements will generally bring children into our multi-year program during the ideal window between 2 years, 8 months and 4 years of age.
ENROLLMENT PROCESS
Submit an application and the non-refundable $100 Application Fee. We accept applications on a rolling basis.
Attend either an Information Session or request a tour. Information sessions are held in fall and winter.
AMH will begin working with prospective families in January of the child's enrollment year.
AMH will contact families to schedule a Classroom Observation and an Admissions Meeting.
Offers of enrollment are made on an individual basis after taking into consideration the balance of age, gender and program needs.
