Making Contact
If you have questions, would like to request an information packet, or set up a school visit, you can contact the school by phone, between 8 am-4 pm, Monday-Friday, at 763-577-4244 or via email at childrensworkshopmontessori@gmail.com.
Parent Visits
The next step in the admissions process is to schedule a school visit. Visits take place at either 9:00 am or 10:15 am, Monday – Friday. Lasting approximately an hour long, your visit will include: Observations in our Toddler and Primary environments, a school tour, and a meeting with the Head of School.
Application & Child’s Visit
After parents have visited the school, they may submit an Admissions Application for their child, plus a $25 application fee. Once the application and fee arrive at Children’s Workshop, a letter will be sent to inform you of its receipt, followed by a call from the school to set up a school visit for your child. Visits are scheduled between 9 and 11 am, Monday – Friday, and last about a half hour. The Guide meets the child and parents in the lobby and then escorts the child to the environment, while the parents meet with the Head of School(occasionally, parents of toddlers will accompany them into the environment to make the transition easier). During the visit, The Guide will show the child around the environment, introduce him/her to other children, do a few developmentally appropriate presentations, and observe the child. Meanwhile, parents can ask any follow-up questions from their visit, further explanation of the admissions process, and an opportunity to sneak down the hallway to catch a glimpse through the classroom window of what their child is doing.
Acceptance & Registration
After the child’s visit, the Head of School and guide who worked with the child, will meet to discuss the child and his/her visit. Acceptance decisions are then made and sent to the families within two weeks of the child’s visit. Included with this letter are registration materials. In order to hold a spot for your child, parents must return a signed Tuition Agreement and the $200 Registration Fee. All other registration forms in the packet are due two weeks before school starts. Once the signed agreement and fee are received, a letter will be sent to the parents confirming their child’s spot and information about orientation and phase-in for the start of the school year.
