Admissions

Thank you for your interest in Villa Madonna Montessori!


The Montessori School enrollment is currently full for the 2024-2025 school year.

Children enter the Montessori program at age three years and stay for a three-year program culminating in kindergarten. The first step in the admission process is to schedule an observation. New Families may schedule an observation on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:30 A.M., October 1 through the end of April. At the observation, a registration form for admission may be submitted. We accept registration forms several years in advance and place the students on our wait list ordered by observation date. Typically, we enroll approximately 16-20 incoming three-year-old students each year, with the expectation they remain in the program for three years. Occasionally, we have room for a student to enter the second year. Please call to find out if we have a spot for your child.

Please follow the following steps in our admissions process:
  1. Contact the Montessori office to schedule a classroom observation, 859 341 5145. 
  2. Complete and return the registration form at the observation visit.
          • Your child will be placed on the waitlist for their appropriate entrance year when both the observation and registration form are complete. 
  3. Mid February, waitlist families for the upcoming fall will be contacted to schedule appointments for new student interviews.  Families are contacted by order of waitlist; see below for priority.
  4. New student readiness interviews take place in March with a registration deposit and current immunization records required at that time.
