As parents, we understand you might have a lot of questions when it comes to preschool programs, our school, or the Montessori way. Please take a look at our frequently asked questions below. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact our early childhood school today. 

  • What makes Countryside Montessori School different from other schools?

    The philosophy that our teachings are centered around comes from Maria Montessori. She believed in teaching children through a hands-on approach and the incorporation of nature. When your children attend our school, they receive extensive fun, hands-on learning. They will also receive regular outdoor exercise throughout their time with us.

  • How do I enroll my child in your school?

    The process is simple. You begin by emailing us for an information package. Then you can schedule a tour with us. You will also need to schedule an interview with us to determine your child’s overall readiness for our early childhood education programs. After that, we will contact you and discuss your child’s recommended program level at our school. Finally, you enroll your child, pay the tuition deposit, and have your child placed in one of our classrooms.

  • What skills will my child develop at your school?

    Our educational curriculum is designed with the interests of every child in mind. We want to ensure both their academic and life success as best as we can. We focus on developing interest in small objects and purposeful activity, communication skills, social and emotional development, fine and gross motor skills, physical development, and music, math, language, and academic skills.

  • How can I be involved as a parent with the school?

    Parent involvement in the education of their child is important to their success. We know that you care about your child and want to ensure that their place of education is best for them too. As a parent, you can be involved with Countryside Montessori School through our Parent’s Association.
