FAQs
Questions? We've Got Answers.
Is there a waitlist?
We do maintain a waitlist for programs that are at capacity. Contact us to be added — spots open up throughout the year.
Can families from outside Fullerton apply?
Absolutely. While most of our families are from Fullerton and the surrounding Anaheim/Brea/La Habra area, we welcome students from anywhere in Orange County and beyond.
How do I choose between the Hughes and Valencia campuses?
Both campuses offer the same programs and curriculum. The primary difference is location. We recommend touring both if you're unsure — many families find one campus is a more convenient fit for their commute or schedule.
Does Arborland offer financial aid or scholarships?
[INSERT — e.g., "We offer a limited number of need-based tuition adjustments. Contact us confidentially to discuss your family's situation."]
When will we hear back after submitting an application?
We aim to respond within 5 business days of receiving a complete application packet. You will be contacted by phone and email.
Does my child need prior Montessori experience to enroll?
No — we welcome students who are new to Montessori at any age. Our teachers are experienced in supporting children through the transition into the Montessori environment.
What is the sibling enrollment policy?
Siblings of currently enrolled students receive priority re-enrollment during the annual re-enrollment window in February.
What should I bring to a campus tour?
Just yourself and your questions! If you have school records or evaluations for an older child, you're welcome to bring those, but they're not required for a tour. A tour is simply a chance to see the school and meet our team.
