Apply to MMC – The Maria Montessori Center

Application Process Overview

Here at “The Maria Montessori Center”, we follow a rolling admissions process. We review the applications as they are completed and received. Our admissions process is designed to not only bring in the child but to identify and establish the connection between the family and The MMC. Our admission is based on several deciding factors which we consider carefully to determine if the student, family, and school will be a good fit with each other.

The primary question to us is, “Will we meet the needs of the parents and nurture the curiosity of the child?”. The information we provide on our tour helps educate those who are new to the Montessori environment.

All prospective parents and families are required to schedule a guided tour of our campus. During the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to explore our classrooms, meet our educators, and experience the Montessori environment and its effects in action.

After the campus tour, you’ll have the chance to engage in an information session and Q&A with our admissions team. This is a valuable opportunity to ask any questions you may have about our curriculum, philosophy, extracurricular activities, facilities, and more. You will be able to witness children working with Montessori materials and thriving in the environment.

“Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.”

-Maria Montessori

BThe Montessori philosophy places significant emphasis on a three-year cycle, underlining the belief that a child's complete potential is attained after spending three years within the same environment, guided by the same teacher.
CThis learning approach is tactile and experiential. Dr. Maria Montessori asserted, and modern science has confirmed, that movement and learning are intertwined. Within our prepared classroom, children interact with specially crafted manipulative materials that encourage exploration and actively involve the senses in the learning process.
