Our application process is as follows:

Please call or email us to schedule a time to visit our school. We welcome parent-only observations on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays in the morning. This 30-minute observation is designed for you to see the day-to-day workings of our Children's House classroom.  We recommend that parents first observe the school without children.  Prior to your visit we will send you information about Cedar Tree in addition to a student application for enrollment.

Observations will begin each year after November 1st and applications are submitted before we schedule an observation. Enrollment decisions are made in March after our internal re-enrollment process.

Please submit the following as part of your application packet. Payments can be mailed to:

Cedar Tree Montessori, 2114 Broadway, Bellingham, WA 98225.

• A completed student application

• $50.00 non-refundable application fee

All completed enrollment packets (application and fee) will be held until we do our internal re-enrollment process. When we know the number of openings we have in each classroom, we will fill these openings with our list of applicants. While no Montessori experience is required, we give preference to children with previous Montessori experience and balance our classes based on age, gender and each children’s unique needs. We screen applicants based on their ability to be successful in a Montessori environment.

After we have completed our internal re-enrollment, we will contact families who have submitted all of the above application materials to let them know their status. In the meantime, please contact us with any questions or to update your contact information.

Thank you again for taking your time to learn more about us.
