Sunny Hollow Montessori enrolls children in
primary and elementary programs. In order to
be considered for our primary program the child
must be between 33 months (toilet trained) and
five years of age by September 1. Our elementary
program is open to children aged six through
ten.
Sunny Hollow Montessori admits students of
any race, color, national & ethnic origin
to all rights, privileges, programs and activities
generally accorded or made available to students
at the school. It does not discriminate on the
basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin
in administration of its educational policies,
admission policies, scholarship programs and
other school administered programs.
Process
We ask interested parents to visit the school
and observe in the Montessori Childrens
House environment. Adult visitors are welcome
to observe Thursdays between 9:15 a.m.10:30
a.m. from November through May. Observation
appointments can be scheduled by calling the
school office (651) 690-2307. We also welcome
visitors during the summer by appointment. Montessori
classes, however, are not in session June through
August.
When you make the decision to apply, complete
the Application

Hollow with a non-refundable $75 Application
Fee. After completing your parent observation,
we encourage you to schedule a second observation
appointment to visit Sunny Hollow with your
child. Parent/child observations are scheduled
Thursdays between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m. You will
have an opportunity to visit with the teaching
staff while your child explores the Montessori
environment. Call (651) 690-2307 to schedule
an appointment.
If admission is offered to your child, a non-refundable
$450 Admissions Deposit and signed tuition agreement
will be due 10 business days from date placement
is offered. The $450 Admissions Deposit will
be applied to your childs tuition schedule.
Upon receipt of an Admissions Deposit and signed
