how to enroll
Visit Us
We encourage parents to come to the school for a visit. You are welcome to bring your child to see the school. However, we recommend that you visit another time without your child if you plan on observing a class for an hour or longer. This observation time will give you an opportunity to meet some of the teachers, the administration, see the classrooms, and observe what the children are doing. We will give you a tour of the school , give you a school packet with all of our information, and answer any questions you might have.
Application Process
Download and print application form (Adobe Acrobat PDF)
Please fill out and submit your application via regular mail or e-mail. If you should have any questions regarding the application, or are unable to download it, please contact us at 708-354-5255 and we will mail an application to you. We look forward to meeting you!
Once we have received your application with the $75 registration fee, you will be placed on the waiting list. You will be contacted by administration or by a teacher to set up an interview for your child. The “interview” is an informal meeting with the child, yourself and the teacher that allows the teacher to assess the child’s social, academic and physical development. The meeting also allows the teacher to become acquainted with your child and gives the child an opportunity to familiarize himself/herself with the environment.
Once the child has been accepted, you will be contacted via phone by administration or one of the teachers. A contract will be drawn up with your child’s class information, payment schedule, etc. and we will mail two copies of the contract to you. One copy is yours to keep, the other needs to be mailed back to us before the start of the school year.
We can not place you on the waiting list until we receive your application. Our policy is first come, first serve. As is customary in most Montessori schools, siblings of Creative World have priority over new families.
