Children aged 1–3 years are welcome to apply for enrollment in our program. However, Children’s House tuition rates will only apply once a child reaches 3 years of age and demonstrates independent toileting skills with minimal adult supervision. This includes the ability to independently manage clothing, such as pants and underwear, and to perform self-wiping. Until these milestones are achieved, Toddler Community tuition rates, as outlined in the previous table, will apply.

Qualified teachers are essential to society.

We acknowledge that our tuition is higher than similar programs in our area. We believe that for our teaching team to be fully present, patient, and connected to each child throughout the day, our own needs must be met. Moss + Heart's tuition ensures that all staff, including Assistants, are paid a family wage, and are able to take time off for illnesses or other needs. Caring for basic needs, doing so with intention, reflection, passion, and constant modeling and teaching, is valuable to our community - and humanity at large. Our structure allows teachers to take time for themselves when needed so they can show up ready and fully prepared to teach.

As our school grows and we begin to generate profit, we plan to invest back into the community - by donating to charitable organizations creating opportunities for more children to access Montessori Education and offering greater benefits to staff, such as paid family leave.

Future Expansion

At this time, Moss & Heart is opening its doors to an Toddler Community (ages 12 months to 3 years). Plans are to also offer a Primary classroom (ages 3-6 years), beginning Fall 2025. Thus, students enrolling in the current Toddler Community have the opportunity to continue on at Moss Heart through age 6 years. As space and budget allows, there are plans to also add a Nido (ages 0-12 months) environment to our school (opening TBD) to serve new and growing families already in our community.
