Enrollment begins each Spring

enrollment process

Tulip Tree Montessori enrolls children for an entire academic year, from August through June. Children who will be at least 16 months old, and no older than 2 years old, by the first day of school are eligible for enrollment.

  • Tulip Tree accepts waitlist applicants year-round. However, we enroll children for our 11-month school year, from August-June

    We are currently accepting wait list requests for the following academic years:

    25/26 - 26/27 - 27/28

    Those on the waitlist will be the first families notified about our Open House in the Spring.

  • To kick off enrollment season, we host an Open House event each Spring. Families who attend this event receive priority enrollment.

    Another round of group tours will follow if necessary.

  • Once contacted, families are given five days to accept a spot. Those not offered a spot are given the option to remain on the wait list should a spot become available.
