Application

Enrollment Process

Before enrollment can be finalized, parents must complete the following steps:

Receive a letter of acceptance.
Submit completed enrollment forms on the Brightwheel platform, along with the $100 nonrefundable application processing fee. This fee is due only once a guaranteed space is available.

Available spaces are filled based on the date the completed application is received, with priority given to the following considerations:

Siblings of currently enrolled students receive first preference.
Classroom balance will be maintained, considering factors such as age, gender, and previous Montessori experience.

If no space is available at the time of application, children will be placed on a waitlist and admitted as openings occur.

Please note that acceptance into one age group does not guarantee a spot in the subsequent age group. While current families are given priority for transitioning to the next level, due to our small size and low turnover, this transition cannot always be guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Admissions

When will my child be accepted
into Highlands Montessori?

Because of our small size, low turnover, and policy of transitioning children based on development, it can be very difficult to predict any future openings. Unfortunately childcare in general and Montessori education in particular are in high demand in the Denver metro area. We recommend that all interested families pursue multiple options.
