TERMS OF ADMISSION
1. Children are accepted into the Toddler Program at 18 months. Between 18 months and 3 years of age parents have the option of the half day or a full day program, subject to space availability.
2. When starting in the Toddler Program we ask that one parent join the child in the classroom for a period of approximately two weeks to assist your child's transition into school.
3. Children are accepted into the Children’s House Program at age three and must be toilet trained.
4. Toronto Montessori Schools (TMS) reserves the right to accept or reject this application and also to request the withdrawal of any child if, in the opinion of the teacher and Academic Head, this action is for the benefit of the child or for the benefit of the class as a whole. The acceptance of the student for one year does not indicate automatic acceptance into succeeding years.
5. TMS reserves the right to make such rules and regulations in the operation of the School as it deems appropriate, and it is a condition of attendance that these rules and regulations be observed.
6. If offered admission to the School, the Parental/Guardian Agreement must be completed.
7. As a not-for-profit organization TMS School relies on voluntary tax deductible charitable donations provided by our families to assist with the building of new spaces and programs. Each school year families make donations to our Annual Giving Program which provides students with enhancements to their learning in that school year. Donations typically range from $1,000 to $2,500. New families are encouraged to support this program by donating to the upcoming year’s annual giving program at the time of enrolment.
