If you are considering applying or are interested in more information about our Bel Air location, we encourage you to sign up for a tour. Tours are scheduled frequently throughout the year.

Program Tours

  • A young boy with short light hair, wearing a dark T-shirt, surrounded by a pile of autumn leaves, raising his hands and smiling with a house and trees in the background.

    Infant Care Program Tour

    During the tour, parents will have an opportunity to see our Infant classroom and talk to the Head of School.  How the Montessori philosophy of education shapes the care of the very young child is a question many parents have and will be discussed.  

    Questions regarding a child’s individual scheduling needs, the group’s daily schedule goals, staffing, feeding, sleeping, learning opportunities, outdoor spaces and equipment can be discussed at length.

  • Children sitting on the floor around a black mat with a large color wheel made of rainbow-colored cardboard strips arranged in a circular pattern.

    Montessori Program Tours

    Tours of our Montessori programs are held on Saturday mornings and after school hours during the week. We find that holding tours for these programs during non-school hours is the best way to introduce parents to the program in a setting that allows them to freely ask questions and explore the environment.

  • Four young children sitting at a small rectangular table in a room with teal walls, two on each side. One child with blonde hair and a patterned outfit is facing away from the camera on the left. Two children with light hair on the other side, one with a brown shirt and the other with a white shirt with patterns, are facing the camera. A fire extinguisher is on the wall, with a window and a door visible in the background.

    Classroom Observation

    Our first obligation is to the well-being of the children already enrolled in our programs and so we try to keep their classroom environments as consistent and free of intrusions as possible. As a result, classroom observations are limited to 20 minutes and are for adults only. Observations are scheduled by request, after prospective parents have had a chance to tour, during times that the students are actively working in the classrooms with the Montessori materials. This allows perspective parents to get a feel for our school's environment, culture and energy.
