Gurukul Montessori Academy is a preschool program for children ages 3 -6 years of age. A child must turn 3 years old by December 1st for program eligibility. Children who are 33-36 months may be registered with parental permission to place them in a multi-age group with a teacher: child ratio of 1:10. Younger children may be placed on the waiting list. Unborn children may be placed on the waiting list. The school may require a birth certificate to verify a child's age.

The admission process consists of three steps. All three steps can be completed at the same time, if all the requirements are met.

Step 1 Application: To be placed on the waiting list, parents complete an Application for Admission form and pay a $25 application fee. On receipt of the completed application form and fee, the child‘s name is placed on the list effective that same day.

Step 2 Acceptance: There is no test for admission, however, the Principal or teacher will conduct a “Getting To Know You Visit” with the child prior to final admission to observe the child for signs of readiness. These signs include but are not limited to: separation from parent, interest in the environment, apparent ability to focus and follow a simple direction.

The school reserves the right to enroll children from the waiting list in a manner to balance classroom enrollments by age and gender. Children are not necessarily taken from the waiting list in “first come, first served” order.

Step 3 Registration: When an opening occurs and the child is of an age for program eligibility, the parent is asked to register the child by completing a set of registration forms and attending a parent orientation. Parents who decline an available opening will be asked if they would like to remain on the waiting list or removed from the list. The registration fee of $75 and the first tuition installment are due at the time of registration.
