Main Square Montessori

Because space at Main Square Montessori is limited, applying for enrollment does not guarantee placement in the program. Siblings of current students will receive the first preference of any opening in the school. Every effort will be made to accept all siblings in an individual family, but this may not be possible due to caps on class sizes. Learn more about enrolling at Main Square Montessori.
