"The child has other powers than ours, and the creation he
achieves is no small one; it is everything."

We invite you to call our office at 713-520-0738 to schedule your personal tour
(generally Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday mornings). During this visit you will
have an opportunity to see the classroom, observe the teachers and have your
initial questions answered.
If your child is over three years old, we ask you to schedule a visit when your
child can spend an hour or so working in the classroom with the teachers. New
schools are a big transition in young lives and we want your child to feel part
of the process.
We often have a waitlist of six months or more in our infant and toddler
programs so the sooner you can determine your interest, the more likely we can
accommodate your child.
The completed Registration Form
along with the $100 registration fee will place your child on the waitlist. You
may stay on the waitlist for up to twelve months.
The following forms must be completed and turned into the office before your
child can start school:
Once we have received your forms and fees (registration fee, deposit, tuition,
supply fee), we will forward your file to the classroom teacher who will
contact you to schedule your transition into your new school. Welcome to the
MCDS family.

School Schedule -
Montessori Country Day School is open 7am to 6pm year-round. Our academic year
runs September 1st through May 31st. Academics do continue throughout the
summer months with a morning work period and special projects at the
pre-primary and elementary levels.
These special projects vary each year based on the interests of the staff and
students. Summer projects are in-depth learning experiences, combining
geography, culture, language and creative expression. For example this year one
of our pre-primary classrooms learned about the rainforest; they learned the
plants of the forest, how they grow together and their role within the whole.
The students learned about the animals, food, spices and medicine of the
rainforest; they heard the myths and legends of the indigenous people and made
masks of the animals.
The MCSD School Calendar shows
the dates MCDS will be closed over the next year.
