MORE INFO
SCHOOL FAMILY

Our school has less than 40 students, making us a close knit community of teachers, students and families. Building a strong home to school relationship is important to Sprouting Minds Montessori School. Our school is cozy, welcoming, and homelike.

BUFFALO AREA

Located less than 30 minutes away from Buffalo. Sprouting Minds Montessori School is the only school in the greater Buffalo area offering authentic Montessori education from 18 months to 6th grade.

COMMUNITY

Students recognize themselves as part of many communities: the classroom, the family, the village and a community of the wider world. Montessori education nurtures responsible, independent and capable people who are active citizens in all of their communities.

INDIVIDUALIZATION

In our child-centered classroom learning activities are presented individually to children and students progress at their own pace. They are given opportunities to practice, review, or move forward based on their own interests and capabilities.

OUTCOMES

Our students learn cooperative social skills, develop self-control, learn to take initiative and develop deep critical thinking skills. Our students are using hands on academic curriculum daily. Above all else they develop a lifelong love for learning!

TRANSPORTATION

Children grades k-6 have access to local school district bussing within 15 miles.

ENROLLMENT

Steps done with heart, soul, mind & strength

1

Tour

Visit our school, see our classrooms and meet our Head of School, Sammie. Understand programs, schedules and tuition. A visit is the only way to really find out if our school is right for you. After you have set up your tour we ask you fill out an application so that we can get to know your family and be ready to offer you an enrollment spot if there is a good fit.
2

Enrollment

We enroll year-round when there is a match between a spot and a child (timing, age, gender, previous Montessori experience, language skills, etc.) If there is a match between your child, your timeline, and an opening, you may receive an enrollment offer during or soon after your tour. You will be provided with an enrollment form and a tuition deposit will be made to secure your spot.
3

Waiting Pool

If there is not an immediate match for your child they will be placed into the waiting pool. The waiting pool is for school year starts and future mid-year openings. If you are planning ahead or looking to enroll for the next school year, you can place your child on our waiting pool through a link provided after a review of their application. Enrollment offers for next school year are sent out between February and April; if any spots remain open, we will offer direct enrollment for the next school year.
4

Enrollment Package

Once your family completes the enrollment application and pay the tuition deposit to secure your spot, you will be provided with an enrollment package. This package covers items ranging from food preferences to health reports and emergency contact and pick-up authorizations.

Additional Steps

Flexible Tuition: Limited needs-based flexible tuition is available for students in our elementary class. Please discuss during your tour so we can inform you on the application process, or read about our flexible tuition.
