At Kairos Christian Montessori, we believe enrollment is rooted in relationship and community. Families participate in a school visit and parent conversation to experience our classrooms, meet members of our community, and gain an authentic understanding of the Kairos experience.
For Primary applicants, we do not formally interview or assess children. Our teachers are thoughtfully trained to meet each child where they are, and we believe children are “ready” simply by joining our community.
Elementary students who are new to Montessori may be invited for a brief trial visit to ensure Kairos is the right fit for both the child and classroom environment.who are new to Montessori may be invited for a brief trial visit to ensure Kairos is the right fit for both the child and classroom environment.

Our Approach
At Kairos Christian Montessori, we do not formally assess or interview young children during admissions. Every child who joins our community is considered ready — our guides are trained to meet each child exactly where they are, honoring their individual pace, temperament, and God-given design. Elementary children new to Montessori may be invited for a trial day to ensure Kairos is the right fit.
Our process centers on conversation and connection. We want you to leave knowing not just what we do, but why — and feeling the warmth of a community where your child will truly be known.
In the spring and summer, newly enrolled children are invited to a Welcome Day — a joyful first introduction to their classroom, guides, and new friends.
