Join Our Award-Winning Montessori Community!

Voted Best Preschool, Best Private School and Childcare by Best of North County!

Here is our step-by-step admissions process, which details how you can guide your child today so they can lead the world of tomorrow:


  1. Attend a 1:1 Tour to see if Shadowridge Montessori School is right for your child. (Book yours below!)
  2. Receive Your Application: Upon completing a tour, you will receive an email with instructions to complete our Enrollment Application form.
  3. Join the Waitlist: Once your application is submitted, your child will be added to our waitlist.
  4. Acceptance & Welcome: Once your child has been accepted, you will receive our official Welcome Letter.
  5. Secure Enrollment: Complete and return the Enrollment Agreement, required forms, a $200 Enrollment fee and a $200 Materials fee.
  6. Meet the Teachers: Upon mutual acceptance, bring your child in to meet our Guides and get comfortable in their new classroom.

Here’s how we determine admissions:

  • The number of students currently enrolled.
  • Whether your child is a sibling of another currently enrolled student.
  • The date you’ve completed a tour and the date your application is submitted.
  • We will place prospective students on a waiting list if classes are full.
  • A final enrollment decision will be made by the Director.
Shadowridge Montessori School does not discriminate in any way, shape, or form in the administration of its educational policies. Differences in race, color, nationality, ethnic origin, and religion are welcome here.
