Discover our School at our next Open House!
Students must be at least 2 years of age to attend The Montessori School of Washington.
We offer rolling admissions (space permitting) throughout the year, giving parents more flexibility when enrolling their children at the school. You don't need to wait until the beginning of the school year in September. When enrolling mid-year, application and enrollment forms should be submitted a week after attending the Open House, along with the application fee and enrollment fee, to secure your child’s space in the program. The administration will invoice for the cost.
The Montessori School of Washington (MSOW) has been approved to accept childcare subsidy (voucher) payments instead of tuition. Eligible families must apply and be approved by the Child Care Services Division of the Department of Human Services. For more information on applying for DC child care subsidies, please visit My Child Care DC.
MSOW is committed to broadening access for families who might otherwise not be able to afford a high-quality Montessori preschool experience. For this reason, 25% of MSOW families will receive tuition relief. MSOW is listed in the My Child Care DC directory under our business name, “The Montessori School of Washington.”
To support our military families, we continue to receive fee assistance payments from Child Care Aware and the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN)
