Admissions (updated Apr. 2025) 

 

Our Admissions cycle for new students 19 months through under 6 years at entry begins in early January each year, looking towards the upcoming September. Nido / infant program interest is year-round; with most parents looking about 12-14 months prior to care being needed.

​

Please review our Programs and Fees page in detail, as well as considering your child's current learning out of the home and stage of readiness for an academic program before inquiring. We strongly recommend that children older than 27 months who have never been in care outside of the home, register first in a discovery/inquiry-based program with toys before participating in our Centre.

​

Pre-Application Interviews occur via ZOOM. Write to admissions@aspenhillmontessori.ca with your child's date of birth, target entry date, and if your child has been in care outside of the home before. We will send you more information about our Centres and about our intake process. If you have multiple children that you are hoping to place with our Centre, we strongly recommend reviewing our Sibling Guide. Siblings are interviewed independently, and we do not guarantee placement of all children in a sibling group.

 

During your Pre-Application Interview, we review your family's needs, and explore your child's personality and learning journey. Our focus is to discover more about their social and emotional development to date, and how they are reaching appropriate ages-and-stages milestones. Our interviews ensure before entry that our approach to learning will be a good match for your child's needs. We will confirm that you have read our Parent Handbook (Centre policies) and current fees, and answer any questions you have about our Centre.

 

If you are offered placement, the Admissions team will invite you to apply during the interview. If we are not able to offer placement, it simply means that a different learning style may be more suited to help your child thrive, and we will suggest other potential programs in the area. If you have a successful interview and space is not currently available, you will be invited to waitlist. Interviews are valid for 3 months.

​

We offer public Open Houses in November and January. Learn more and register for upcoming events!

 

We do not provide in-person tours out of respect for our current students' work cycles, but we do have video tours as well as an active social media presence on Instagram and Facebook to review. 

​

We look forward to connecting with your family via admissions@aspenhillmontessori.ca.
