Primary Admission Process
Are you interested in applying to our school?
Our primary program is designed for children ages 2.5 through 6. It is a three to four-year program encompassing what is traditionally referred to as pre-school plus kindergarten.
To qualify for admission, a child must be between 2.5 and 4 years old and must be completely toilet trained (no diapers or pull-ups). Children who have passed their 4th birthday will be considered for admission on an individual basis as space allows and who, in the opinion of the school, will have successful experiences in the program. Preference will be given to students with previous Montessori experience.
The steps below will walk you through our admission process.
Step 1
Schedule a Tour
We invite you to tour our school, see our classrooms in action, and learn more about what makes our programs special. This usually takes around 90 minutes.
Step 2
Submit an Application
Complete the application for admission and submit the $50 application fee to begin the process. (This fee is non-refundable)
Step 3
Personalized Follow-Up
Once we’ve reviewed your application, we’ll be in touch soon about next steps. We may invite your child for a classroom visit to help ensure a great fit.
Step 4
Receive Acceptance Information
If your child is admitted, we’ll send a letter with an invitation to complete the enrollment process.
Step 5
Reserve Your Child's Space
Your child’s spot is secured once we receive the enrollment fee.
Step 6
Wait Pool (If Needed)
If classes are currently full, we’ll place your child in our wait pool and contact you as soon as a space opens.

Parent Reviews
"My biggest piece of advice to families is to stay at OakHaven for as long as possible. Everything my son learned while he was there has given him a strong foundation to be successful in the next phases of his journey. He has a love of learning, knows how to learn and problem-solve, and thinks for himself. My mom even recognizes that many of his other skills, for example shaking hands and looking someone in the eye, are things that he learned from his time at OakHaven.
I remember when he was younger being concerned about his transition to a traditional school. Over the years, I had to keep trusting that since my son was thriving at the time, it was the right thing to keep him at OakHaven. When the time came for him to actually make the transition, it was so easy for him."

“I could not ask for a better educational experience for my son! He has grown and developed so much during his time at OakHaven, and I could not be more grateful for the kindness, care, and intentionality that is built into his daily experience. Ms. Meghan is wonderful, and we absolutely love her, as well as the rest of the staff! There is no place else we would rather be!”
