Admissions

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
twelve.
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 for Admissions form and send it to Sunny Hollow with a non-refundable $75 Application Fee. After completing your parent observation and turning in an application for admissions, we will contact you to set up a time for your child to visit the school during our applicant visit day. On the applicant visit day your child will be invited to join other new applicants for a half hour visit to the Montessori environment with our guides. During that time, parents will have an opportunity to visit with one of our admissions staff.
If admission is offered to your child, a non-refundable $450 Registration Deposit and signed tuition agreement will be due 10 business days from date placement is offered. Upon receipt of a Registration Deposit and signed tuition agreement, we will hold a place for your child in our program and you will be contractually obligated for the tuition for the enrollment period.
