Children’s House of Durango enrolls students based on a wait list process and in a non-discriminatory manner. Existing students are served first, then priority goes to siblings, alumni, and public wait list children, respectively. Students will be considered based upon available class space at the time of application. Children’s House of Durango reserves the right to place a child in a classroom with respect to age, gender, and curriculum needs. The Director reserves the right to adjust enrollment placement of children at any time.
Important dates to keep in mind (effective January 1, 2024):
The birthday cutoff date for the three year old, school year enrollment is August 31 of that year. This means a student must have turned three prior to beginning in September.
The birthday cutoff date for kindergarten enrollment is August 31 of that year. This means a student must have turned five prior to beginning in September.
Children's House currently has a few spots open for enrollment for the 2024/2025 school year. Please email bryn@childrenshouseofdurango.com to inquiry about a spot.
Children's House of Durango enrolls children ages 3 through 6-years-old. Our wait list is created approximately one year prior to the upcoming school year. Please fill out the form at the end of this page to be added to the waitlist. Please refer to the dates above to determine which year your child will be eligible for enrollment.
In order to maintain the Montessori philosophy of mixed ages and to create a balanced classroom we place children on our wait list based on age and gender. Our wait lists are based on a first come first serve basis and each age group has a set limit of 10-15 students per list. A child's placement on the wait list does not guarantee a spot for enrollment. Enrollment takes place in March and April each year and the Administrative Manager will contact each person on the wait list to announce whether there is a spot available for the upcoming school year.
We appreciate your understanding and patience throughout our wait list process. If you have any questions please email bryn@childrenshouseofdurango.com. Thank you!
Please note, the waitlist is now first come, first serve. This means once you have submitted the form below, you will be placed on the waitlist behind the last child added (i.e. if we have 10 children on the waitlist, you will be placed in the 11th spot).
As mentioned above, you are able to get on our waitlist one year in advance (i.e. if you child turns two in 2024, you can add them to the 2025/2026 waitlist).
Once you have completed the form, you will receive a confirmation email from Bryn, our Administrative Manager, within 5 business days.
