Come visit Merry Montessori's new Primary House for our Open House Saturday, June 1st from 9am to 12pm.

Located at 4225 SE Woodward St. & 43rd in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Southeast Portland, our new space will house a foundational group of children ages 2 1/2 to 4 to begin our new Primary Program.

We will follow traditional AMI Montessori curriculum but are excited to also include Spanish language throughout the day with our children through songs, language works and through speaking Spanish with our classroom assistant.

Our primary program will be in an intimate home setting for the 2013-2014 school year with two guides and ten children, then grow out to a larger space for the following year with space for a larger group of children, eventually 20 to 25 children in total.

Come meet the guide and administrator and learn more about this exciting new community beginning this fall.

Program Highlights

My son starts kindergarten next year and we are currently waiting to hear the results of the PPS school choice lottery. Our first & only choice is a language immersion program that's at our neighborhood school. The immersion program will be a much better fit for my son socially, plus there are some overcrowding problems on the neighborhood program side of things, so I'm wondering about the possibility of a hardship transfer if we don't get in via the lottery. Can those of you who have done hardship transfer petitions share your experiences? How extreme do the circumstances have to be to get approved? What sorts of documentation/evidence/justifications did you have to provide? Any other tips or recommendations?
