Buena Vista Montessori Preschool

Get your child's name on the waitlist as early as possible. We are a popular little preschool and our classes fill very quickly. Even if preschool is a couple of years away, it is still a good idea to get your child's name  placed on the waitlist.

Unfortunatley no, being on the waitlist does not guarantee you a spot, but it certainly increases your chances when an opening comes available.

No, there is no fee until you are offered a spot at which time if you accept the spot you are required  to pay the $200.00 registration fee which is non-refundable.   

Although we make every effort to place waitlisted families in the order they joined the waitlist, it doesn't always work out that way simply because we have to ensure each class has a balanced class dynamic. For example, if after  in-house registration takes place, we notice that there are mostly girls in the class, we will need to offer the next few spots to the boys on the waitlist in order to keep the classes as balanced as possible. The same holds true for the ages of the children enrolled. For example, if it looks like we have a large number of returning 4 year  olds, we need to ensure the next few spaces are offered to the  3 year olds on our waitlist in order to keep our classes as balanced as possible. 

As much as we treasure the families who have been with us in the past, it simply isn't feasible to give priority to our alumni families. Registration priority is only given to the families currently enrolled.

Flexibility is the key! The waitlist for the 4 hour AM class is always longer and so it is often helpful if you specify that you are open to accepting a PM spot first (if something comes available). It is a great way to get your foot in the door and get your child started on their Montessori learning journey! Many families register in the PM class for the 1st year (or part of the year) and then move to the AM class when a spot comes available.
