How to Enroll

Thank you for your interest in Holding Hands Montessori, a nonprofit Spanish bilingual Montessori preschool program serving families in the Concord, California area. We’re excited to welcome you into our warm, inclusive preschool community.

Our enrollment process is designed to help us get to know your child and ensure the best possible classroom placement. Here are the steps:

1. Schedule a Parent Tour

   We strongly recommend attending a Parent Tour before applying. This gives you a firsthand look at our classroom, daily routine, Montessori materials, and provides a chance to ask questions not covered in our FAQ.

2. Submit an Online Application

   Complete the online application to help us learn more about your child and your family. If your child is under two years of age, or we do not have immediate space available for your child, we use the date of your application to set priority in our waitlist – earlier application dates receive preference for spots that open up. There is a one-time, non-refundable application fee of $50 due at the time of your application.

3. Schedule a Visit (with Your Child)
   

   After we receive your application, we’ll invite you and your child to visit our campus together. This visit allows your child to explore our space and helps us observe how they engage with the environment.

4. Review and Sign Your Enrollment Contract
   

   We’ll send you an electronic contract to review and sign digitally.

5. Pay the Enrollment Fee and First Month’s Tuition
   

   A one-time enrollment fee and your child’s first month of tuition (non-refundable) are required to reserve your spot.

6. Submit Your Enrollment Packet and Immunization Records
   

   We’ll provide all required forms to complete your child’s enrollment in compliance with California childcare licensing requirements.
