Offering Parent/Child, 2 Year Old & Preprimary-K (3-6)Programs

2009-2010 Academic Year

We offer a Morning Program with options to add Early Bird Arrivals, Extended Day, or All Day Program Options.

Early Bird Arrivals allow flexibility for our families that require an earlier drop off time (7am, 730am or 8am).

The Morning Program (830-1130am): Children may attend 3, 4, or 5 days.*

These days are assigned at enrollment. Please note that there can be no exchanging of days or make up days            due to absence, vacations, or holidays. We maintain a maximum enrollment of 24 students per classroom per                day with an adult to child ratio of 1:12, or better. We recommend 5 day enrollment for all students, for the
value and consistency of the program, -but parents of 3 and 4 year olds may choose 3 or 4 day schedules,
as their needs dictate. 5 year olds (Kindergarten students) must attend 5 days. Once the academic year begins,
parents may wish to expand their child’s schedule; the school will accommodate this, if possible.

The Extended Day Program (1130-130p.m.): Our extended day program is simply that: additional time for the
children to grow and learn within our Montessori environment,-an extension of our day. Children enrolled in our
Extended Day Program bring a lunch each day to school. They share a relaxed group lunchtime and then spend
more time working in the classroom.

*Kindergarten year: 5 day am is required

Hope Montessori Drop In*/Late** Rates, 2009-2010

Late Pick Up Fee** $5 for up to 5 minutes late + $1 /minute each additional minute

*These rates are intended for students already enrolled at Hope. Please check and make sure there is room          ahead of time (we wish to assure proper teacher/child ratios).

** These fees are meant to motivate "repeat offenders" to be timelier. We understand that traffic jams, unforeseen
emergencies happen… so of course, the office staff will use judgment. If there is some special circumstance that will
prevent you from picking up your child on time, on a frequent basis, -please let us know so we can do what we can to help.

There is no substitute for considerate behavior! The children and teachers deserve respect, - chronic lateness communicates             a message; it infers this is lacking.
