1. First, send us an email at admissions@puddletownschool.org, and we can begin our conversation.
2. After we talk, if you would like to move ahead with an application for Puddletown or would like to be added to our waiting list, please complete an electronic application here.
3. Next, families interested in enrolling participate in a tour of Puddletown Montessori School. Tours typically take place during morning hours and are a half hour in length. This first tour is for adults only.
4. Then, if Puddletown is feeling like a good fit for you, and there is space available, a New Child Registration Fee will reserve a space. (See fees section here.)
Puddletown Montessori School invites any child whose family is interested in early childhood, elementary, or middle school aged Montessori education to apply for entrance to our Montessori program, no matter a family’s financial situation. Please see Financial Assistance and Deductions section here. If attending Puddletown Montessori School is cost prohibitive for your family’s current financial situation, please fill out the following form (FACTS) so we may start a conversation about financial support.
Every year, Puddletown Montessori School attempts to achieve a balance of age, identified gender, and Montessori experience within our classrooms.
Puddletown strives to become a school where all children and families are welcome, feel welcome, and see themselves reflected here. Puddletown Montessori School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in hiring, promoting, or training of employees, nor in the admissions, rights, privileges, programs and activities of its learners.
Generally, Puddletown is not equipped outright nor licensed to care for children with disabilities requiring specialized equipment or one-on-one aides; therefore any such care is conditional upon the family/caregivers and staff properly arranging for the child’s needs to be met. It is the goal for each child to be able to participate in and substantially benefit from this Montessori program without risk to themself or other children. Puddletown Montessori School reserves the right to limit entrance to the program or ask that a child be unenrolled from the program after a trial period, based on whether or not we have or can successfully access and implement the tools and strategies to best support a child’s needs, or whether we’ve been able to successfully collaborate with a family and/or a child’s outside support professionals to get the child’s needs met.
