| ENROLLMENT Enrollment Form Tuition Assistance Form We encourage parents to start their child's Montessori education at age 2 1/2 or 3 because there are certain key lessons that they are usually not interested in at age 4. In order to see the full effects of a primary Montessori education, it is also important for your child to stay with his or her same teacher and class for the entire duration of their enrollment. This allows your child the chance to absorb and observe their world at age three, develop and refine motor skills and classify their knowledge around age four, and finally to practice what they've learned and reach abstraction, independence, and confidence around age five. Remaining with the same teacher allows time for the teacher to develop a comfortable and safe relationship with your child, as well as the opportunity to be fully aware of your child's strengths, weaknesses and interests; knowing what your child does to work on next. We accept full-day and half-day students. When filling a classroom, we fill according to what space is available. For example, does one classroom have an abundance of four-year-olds and not enough younger children? Is there a good balance of boys vs. girls in a classroom? We try to balance each classroom by gender and age. Our enrollment policy is as follows: Current students and their 3 year old siblings are given first priority. Children with previous Montessori experiences will be considered for enrollment in one of our three classrooms, based on the balance of age groupings, gender and space availability in the full and half day programs. All other children will also be considered for enrollment based on balancing genders, ages and programs. The year that a child turns five before Aug. 31st, is considered their ‘completion’ year. Camas Montessori School expects families to keep their children here through the end of their ‘completion’ year. Those parents who withdraw their older child before their completion year might not be able to have their siblings considered for possible openings. (This is to ensure the three-year curriculum is offered to those families who are dedicated to following the Montessori philosophy).
