“As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.”

2.Tuition:
  For the half-day program (AM or PM), the rate is $605/month.  For the extended program, tuition is $1,110/month.  Payments must be made on a month-to-month basis, due on the first (1st) of each month.  Payments not received by the tenth (10th) of each month, or postmarked by the seventh (7th) must include a twenty dollar ($20) late fee plus a fifteen dollar ($15) service charge.

Sibling discount:  Villa offers a 10% tuition discount for siblings who are both enrolled and attending Villa Montessori School.  If for any reason your first child is withdrawn from Villa Montessori, the sibling discount will no longer apply.  Both children have to physically enroll and be present in the school in order for the sibling discount to apply.
3.Materials and Snack Fund Fee:  A materials and snack fee of two-hundred ($200) per child per year, for half-day program and three-hundred ($300) for the extended-day program is due with the first month’s tuition.  The material and snack fee is non-refundable.
4.Enrollment Age:  Children must be at least two (2) years and nine (9) months of age prior to beginning school, and should not be over five (5) years and nine (9) months of age.  All children must be toilet trained prior to beginning school.
5.School Hours:  Our core schedule is a three-hour morning class from 9:00AM to 12:00PM (noon) and afternoon class from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.  These classes consist of a balance of individual and group time, which is the heart of Montessori education; group time is for collective lessons-grace and courtesy-stories, music, sharing, brief lessons and outdoor play.
For our older children, a key component of our program is the extended day schedule, which is from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM.  This longer day provides a balance of the mixed-age class in the mornings, with more advanced lessons, individual attention, social experiences, with their smaller group of peers in the afternoons.
The children who stay in the afternoon have a nap period in a separate room after 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM, and then they will join the remainder of the afternoon group.   Children must arrive on time and be picked up promptly after school.
