Next steps
How do I visit Royal Montessori, and what should I ask?
- When was your last state licensing visit, and what did it find?
- Licensed for 53 children across two licences (48 child care, 5 infant): how many share your child’s room, and with how many adults?
- Which ages do you take, and how does a new child settle in?
- What are the daily hours and closure dates, and is there care before or after?
- What does a year cost in total, and when could our child start?
