Enrollment

General information

Children may first enter OCC's preschool program if they are 2 years and 7 months old by the first day of school. We believe that the child receives maximum benefit when remaining at the school for three consecutive years. We hope that parents will carefully consider this before enrolling their child(ren) and that they will be able to make this commitment. All preschool children are expected to register for a 5-day-per-week program. The transition program has two-day and three-day options.

Scheduling a visit

We encourage families to schedule a visit to our classrooms during a regular session. This provides an opportunity for parents to observe our program and for us to answer any questions they might have. To make an appointment, please call 237-1585 or send e-mail to info at occmontessori dot org. OCC is located in downtown State College, at 411 South Burrowes Street.

Tuition

Tuition is determined on a yearly basis and broken down into monthly payments for your convenience. Please inquire at the school for current rates. Funds have been allocated to support a limited number of scholarships. If you are interested in applying, you may request a scholarship form from our office. Scholarship requests are considered throughout the year.

OCC is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal access to programs, admissions, and employment without regard to personal characteristics not related to ability or performance. OCC does not discriminate against any person because of age, ancestry, color, disability or handicap, national origin, race, religious creed, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
