How to Apply

Applying is simple.

Our admissions journey has four steps. Your Application Form allows CHMS to learn more about you and your family. The virtual visit is a wonderful opportunity for both of us to discuss our values and see if CHMS is the right fit for your family. The in-person visit allows you and your child to experience our CHMS community and see children thrive in our Montessori environments. Afterward, CHMS will notify you of an acceptance or waitlist placement. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our CHMS community!

Schedule Virtual Visit

After completing your child's application form, schedule a virtual visit with our Head of School Mr. Jad or Admissions Director Ms. Denise. This 45 minute visit allows you to ask questions about CHMS and learn more about our four core values.

Schedule Campus Visit with Your Child

CHMS welcomes you and your child for an in-person to our campus. You will be able to see CHMS students interacting with peers and actively engaging with Montessori materials in our Montessori classroom environments.

Decision

Receive an enrollment decision from CHMS and if a placement is not available at that moment in time, the child's name will be added to the waitlist.

Who May Enroll

Children’s House Montessori School welcomes toddlers (18 months to 2.5 years old) and preschoolers (2.5 years old to 6 years old). All toddlers are welcome to join our Toddler Program in diapers, and we look forward to celebrating the day when each toddler becomes toilet trained. In our Preschool Program, all children are completely toilet trained.

CHMS adheres to Montessori educational principles and promotes a multi-ethnic perspective that recognizes and celebrates the diverse cultural perspectives and beliefs of our staff and families. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, or religious or political beliefs.
