Admissions FAQs

A child is both a hope and a promise for all mankind.
— Dr. Maria Montessori

  • Can I drop by at any time for a school tour?

    Due to the high interest in our program, tours are held by appointment. Because it is the end of the school year, our tour schedule is a bit unpredictable. In order to find a time that works for you and also offers an informative visit, we ask that you call 413-637-3662 to schedule. We are also happy to answer general questions on the phone or by email.

  • Who should attend the school tour?

    Both parents (if applicable and possible). The initial tour is for adults only; your child will have an opportunity to visit the classroom and the teacher at a later date.

  • Is there a waiting list?

    In cases of high enrollment, children will be admitted to a waiting pool, and families will be notified when space becomes available.

  • How far in advance may I submit an application?

    Parents are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Our admissions timeline for the upcoming school year is:

    • February 15: Priority application deadline for the upcoming school year
    • February 15-29: Regular admissions period for the upcoming school year
    • March 1 on: Rolling admissions until all spaces for the upcoming school year are filled.
  • May I request a specific classroom/teacher?

    Many factors are considered in classroom placement—a child’s needs, the existing classroom population, fit between guides and children—therefore we do not typically accommodate requests for specific classrooms or teachers.

  • Is there a sibling discount?

    Yes, there is a 5% tuition discount for the second child.
