2023-2024 Tuition Rates

We don’t like the games or the hoops other preschools make you go through, just to get a price. We believe that how you do something, is how you do everything. We are transparent and upfront with our pricing, our curriculum, our values and our beliefs. We have too much respect for you. And, frankly, for ourselves.

When you give us your precious time for an in-person tour, the lingering question shouldn’t be about cost. The only question you should be:  

Does our Values as a Family align with the Schools? And can they deliver on their promises? That is it.

Admissions

Can my child join in the middle of a school year or program?
Yes, we accept enrollment throughout the year, space permitting, in all of our various schedule options and programs.

During your personalized visit, a lead teacher will invite your child to work in their classroom while you are meeting with the school Director. The teacher will have some activities prepared so they can interact with your child. During their time together, the teacher will engage the child in a variety of play-based Montessori materials and games. Through these activities, the teacher will ascertain your child’s academic knowledge, their personality, relationship with learning, level of focus, as well as their demeanor and temperament. For the purpose of UMA enrollment, it is important that your child’s temperament is conducive to our learning environment and to other children. It is also important to let us know if there are any special considerations your child will need that may require special attention. UMA may or may not be equipped to meet those needs. We will make reasonable accommodations to best serve all our students.

When meeting with the Director, the school will ask your goals and values to make sure they are harmonious with UMA’s.

If the family and school are a match, you will be provided our enrollment packet.

Urban Montessori Academy has limited financial-aid or scholarship programs which we are happy to speak to prospective parents about. In lieu of that, we are willing to work with families to make UMA affordable. We will offer a 10 month interest free financing option for those that qualify. Furthermore, we will have afternoon only sessions from 12pm-3pm, space permitting. This is created for families who already have a current daycare or have their child remain at home during the day but would also like their child to have some academic enrichment. There will also be the option for after school academic enrichment programs to choose from. These will be created on a semester by semester basis and allows participating families flexibility. These scheduling option were designed for additional targeted enrichment from our fully enrolled families and families looking for a more economical academic option.
Yes, we do enroll international children. When inquiring about the school, please let us know that you will be enrolling an international student. We are happy to make accommodations such as having a skype conversation with our head of school and seeing the school with a virtual tour. Similarly, we can conduct all the required documentation over email or via the postal service. If this is a consideration of yours, please know, that this process typically takes a little longer than being physically present.
Our toddlers do not need to be potty trained. For our 3-6 years old Primary students, we do expect them to be potty trained, but we understand accidents happen. All children will have spare clothes at school, and we will attend to any accident with kindness and empathy.
Your child must be 2.9 years old at time of enrolling.
Every year, our academy has 100% enrollment. In the event, the academy fully enrolls, you will be given the option to have your name put on a waiting list. As space becomes available, families will be called in the order they were put on the waiting list to enroll. Other options include afternoon only schedule which offers a half day of academic enrichment (if available) and our tutoring bridge program we offer privately in a few participating apartment communities. Those participating in those programs have preferential treatment when space is available.
UMA requires a 30 day written notice to withdraw your child from school. As a general statement, neither deposits nor tuitions are refundable, however deposits are typically applied as a pre-paid last month of tuition. The UMA Parent Partnership agreement is binding. Refer to your Parent Handbook for specific details on tuition and termination.
