We have one Toddler classroom (16 to 33 months), three Casa classrooms (Preschool and Kindergarten, ages 3-6), two lower elementary classrooms (Grades 1-3), one upper elementary classroom (Grades 4-6), and one Middle School community (Grade 7-8).
Our Toddler classroom has 12 children, one Montessori-trained guide, one assistant, and one aide. Our Casa classrooms each have about 25 students, one Montessori-trained guide, one assistant, and one aide. Our Elementary classrooms have about 20 students, one Montessori-trained guide, and the support of two assistants. Our Middle School has a capacity of 25 students, one Humanities guide, and one Math/Science guide.
Montessori preschool classes (3- to 6-year-olds) are usually larger than non-Montessori classes because peer teaching is such a major element of Montessori education. In a mixed-age group, younger children learn from older children, and older children solidify their knowledge and build leadership skills by supporting younger children. Ratios are aligned with accreditation guidelines to ensure a rich learning environment.
Sunny Hollow Montessori only offers full-week programs. Consistency is essential for a young child’s sense of order, routine, and development, and attending five days a week allows them to thrive in our learning community.
The first step is to schedule a tour or attend an open house. Afterward, you can submit an online application through our website. Applications are processed in the order they are received, with priority given to returning families and siblings.
Admissions decisions are made in late winter for the upcoming school year. We notify families directly via email. If a spot is not immediately available, your child will be placed on our waiting list.
