How to Apply to Children's House
If you are interested in enrolling your child in Children’s House Montessori School, please follow the steps below:
1. Make an appointment to tour the school
We are currently conducting all tours virtually. Call 703-481-6678 to schedule your tour or use the Admissions Inquiry form to contact us. You can also use the "Schedule Your Tour" buttons on our website to book a tour through our Facebook page.
2. Fill out an application and pay the $50, non-refundable, Application Fee
You can download a copy of the application in the Parents section of our website. We can also email you a copy, if you prefer. Please return your completed application and $50 application fee to:
Children's House Montessori School
1625 Wiehle Ave
Reston, VA 20191
3. We will schedule a time for your child to visit the classroom
We would like to meet your child and have them work in the classroom before a final decision about attendance is made. Children’s visits should last about 30 minutes. This will give your child a chance to experience working in the classroom with the teacher and other students.
4. You will receive an enrollment packet and a start date
After the visit, if you think Children’s House Montessori School is the right place for your child, we will give you a contract and an enrollment packet, and discuss a start date with you. Return the contract, signed by both parents, and other required paperwork, along with a non-refundable enrollment fee of $250 to secure your child’s place in the classroom.
5. Return your signed contract and $250 Registration Fee
Once we have received your signed contract and Registration Fee of $250, your child's place at Children's House will be confirmed! Remaining enrollment paperwork is due prior to your child’s start date.
