Enrollment

After admission is offered, students are enrolled upon payment of a non-refundable registration fee, which will be applied to the tuition costs. This fee must be paid no later than fourteen days after the school has offered admission to the student. If the fee is not received by this time, the space will be made available for another student.

Scholarships

The Children’s House of Bucks County is pleased to offer partial financial-need scholarships.  The students eligible to apply for these funds are either:

 

• enrolling in the Kindergarten program

• enrolling in the Primary program for five days AND in their second or third year at Children’s House

​

In addition, CHBC is pleased to offer EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) scholarships, if available, at both the primary (3-5 year olds), as well as the school age (kindergarten students) level.  Please visit the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development website located at this link for more information regarding the EITC scholarship program

Admissions

Children are admitted taking the following considerations into account: sibling of current or former CHBC student, past Montessori experience, need of the individual class to maintain balance relating to gender and age distribution, observation of CHBC teachers and staff, recommendations and date of application. The Head of School is responsible for all admission decisions.

Re-Enrollment

By March, current students must re-enroll. It is important to observe the re-enrollment deadline if you wish to reserve a space for your child for the following school year. To re-enroll you must pay a non-refundable registration fee, which will be applied to the tuition costs.

Placement

Siblings

In order to foster the development of identity and independence, it is generally the policy of CHBC that siblings in The Children's House will be placed in different classrooms.

​

Classes

A key element of the Montessori method is the development of the child in the prepared environment over a two, three or four year period. We make every effort to balance each class's age and gender. Children are expected to be with the same Directress and class throughout their primary and kindergarten years. Under normal circumstances, children will not be moved to other classes each year.
