Island Montessori Preschool - Hours, Tuition & Fees

Hours, Tuition & Fees

We are open Monday through Friday and offer both full and half-day classes for children ages 3 to 6.

All children must be fully potty trained to enter the school program. Pull-ups are not allowed.

The child must be able to use the facilities independently.

Enrollment at Island Montessori Children's School requires a full academic year commitment. As a school, not a daycare, we do not offer short-term enrollment. This ensures consistency and academic growth within our classrooms.

Once we receive your application and fee, and a spot is available for your child, we will provide an enrollment packet and parent handbook for completion before attendance.

Please note that application, materials, and tuition fees do not apply to Kindergarten students in our Public Charter School. Kindergarten enrollment requires a separate charter school application and lottery selection. Our Kindergarten program is full-time; the half-time option is only available for preschool students.
