2026 - 2027 Enrollment Opening Soon. Open House events on 2/7 and 3/14 10:30 AM. Summer Session Enrollment Now Open

Enrollment

Our school is open all year, with a regular 10-month session September through June roughly following the Seattle Public Schools district calendar.

We offer year-long enrollment if there are openings. There is a $210 enrollment fee which applies at the time of enrollment in order to hold your spot. In case of waitlists, we will take into account trying to have a diverse and balanced group of children, with returning families and siblings having priority.

We offer 5 days / week and 4 days / week options.

Summer session

We will be offering a 7 week summer session in 2026.

To enjoy the beautiful PNW weather we will spend more time than usual outside and add some water games - prepare to recieve wet laughing children! We also switch things up a bit inside and amp up all the art, crafts, and building, while introducing some new open ended loose parts explorations which are not generally part of our repertoire.

Current students have priority, as well as those who will start in the following school year and alumni. We do accept new children for summer camp, so send us a message if you would like more information about our summer camp weeks.

Requirements

Our recommended starting age is somewhere in the 2.5 - 3 year old range - once they are able to change their clothes with assistance and can initiate toiletting on their own, as we do not change diapers and expect children to have the body awareness needed to use the toilet independently.

We also ask that children be able to communicate basic needs with strangers as well as understand and follow simple instructions, and carry their own belongings with them as they arrive at school.

For older children, familiarity with Montessori education is great to have but not required.

We welcome children through Kindergarten age - we love our older students who are able to be great role models for the younger children and bloom into capable and empathetic leaders.

Interested?

Please email hello@verandamontessori.com or call (206) 782 - 5250 with any questions and to schedule an observation. Families are required to do an in person visit to the school before proceeding to enrollment.

2025 - 2026

We are full for the current school year.

Should a spot open up, we will contact families on our waitlist to offer a continuous enrollment spot. Our enrollment fee is prorated based on the term of start date, as will be the first month's tuition based on the exact start date.

2026 - 2027 information

Enrollment is not yet open, but we are already scheduling interested family visits! Enrollment will open in March 2026.

We will be holding Open House events on February 7th and March 14th at 10:30 AM. Stop by to see what makes our school special!

Returning families, siblings, and alumnae families have priority for enrollment. Other children will be considered looking for balance in our classroom - ages, genders, and other diversity factors.

In order to apply for enrollment you must visit our school in person beforehand - either through a visit during school hours, or attend open house.

How to enroll

Families who have visited our school will receive an email with a link to our application for enrollment form when enrollment opens.

Once we have received your form submission, we will let you know in late March whether there is a spot available for your child and you will recieve instructions with regards to our enrollment fee in order to confirm your child's enrollment, as well as instructions for next steps. Payment of the enrollment fee is due within 7 days of notification of a spot being available.

Should we be at capacity, you will be placed on our waitlist at no cost to you. When a spot opens up, this will be communicated by email along with instructions needed in order to secure said spot.
