After Your Tour

After Your Tour: What Happens Next at Young Minds

You’ve toured. Here’s exactly what happens next, from follow-up to your child’s first week.

Can we meet the teacher before our child starts at Young Minds Montessori?

Yes. Young Minds Montessori holds teacher meet-and-greets before the school year begins; the public calendar lists them in early August. Families starting at other times arrange a meet-and-greet with their campus. Children see their classroom and meet their teacher before day one, and parents can ask final questions about routines and drop-off.

How we choose your child's classroom

The meet-and-greet

What happens

You and your child meet the teacher, explore the classroom and ask final questions. The first day isn't the first time your child sees the room.

When

The academic calendar lists the August teacher meet-and-greets for the school-year start. Families starting at other times schedule one with their campus.

Getting ready for the first day

Your Head of School will share the first-day list for your child's classroom at the meet-and-greet. A few things help any child:

The first week

The first week is about settling in. Short, confident goodbyes help. Some tears at drop-off are normal and usually pass quickly once your child is engaged. Our routines and connection articles can help at home.

Staying in touch

You'll hear from your child's teachers and Head of School, and the academic calendar lists parent-teacher conferences. Ask your Head of School how updates arrive for your campus.
