Visit FAQs
Before you visit.
Is booking a visit a commitment?
Not at all. A visit is simply a conversation and a chance to see our classrooms in action. There's no obligation to apply or enroll.
How long does a visit take?
Usually about 45 to 60 minutes. You'll see the prepared environment, watch children at work, and have plenty of time to ask us anything.
What ages does Countryside serve?
Children from 16 months through sixth grade — toddler, primary (preschool and kindergarten), and elementary.
Do I need to know about Montessori already?
Not at all. We'll walk you through how it works and what it looks like day to day, and answer every question along the way.
Can I visit mid-year?
Yes. We welcome visits year-round — just reach out and we'll find a time that works for your family.
Is my child welcome to come along?
Absolutely. It's often the best way to see whether Countryside feels right for your family.
