The school prefers to take children who have had a good grounding in Montessori methods through attending sufficient sessions and terms at a Montessori pre-school; generally for three years. Children are ready for the Second Plane (Primary) around the age of six. Children come across to us around the time they turn six.

The final year at a Montessori preschool is a very important year in the life of a five-year old child as it is now that he/she begins to develop leadership qualities, takes on more responsible roles as well as understands the links of his/her acts and the needs and rights of others. Younger children in the classroom aspire to the work of their older classmates who in turn act as ‘little teachers' reinforcing their own learning.

Siblings do not have automatic right of entry into the unit but we will always try to accommodate them. Siblings are also required to meet the enrolment criteria.

The school reserves the right to limit the number of children with special needs to ensure we can cater for the special needs of those children as well as the needs of all other children. The school will maintain a workable Montessori class in the interests of all children attending.
