About Hartley Montessori

Hartley Montessori is our new tuition-free program with two classrooms serving 3- and 4-year-olds at entry onsite at Hartley Elementary School. Open to young children living in the Hartley Neighborhood/Reynolds School District, this program prepares young children/students for their lifetime of learning using the Montessori method of education.

We accept applications (parent interest forms) all year round. We keep a waitlist, so if we have spaces that open during the year, we can add new students.

In Fall of 2026 we will open our first classroom at Hartley Montessori, with the second classroom opening in Fall of 2027. We are very hopeful that families with children who will be age 3 on September 1st will apply, so that many children can complete two full years of early childhood education with us. We also want to strongly encourage families who live in the Hartley Elementary neighborhood to apply as your child will be eligible for student transportation services and can smoothly transition into kindergarten at Hartley Elementary.

If you want to learn more, reach out to us to learn dates for Open Houses or to schedule a time to visit the classroom and talk with our staff. We can also provide information on the eligibility requirements for the Preschool Promise and Preschool for All student slots, or you can visit their websites for more information.

Hartley Montessori has funding starting in 2026 for all 20 of our students from Multnomah County Preschool for All program. New students with this program must meet Preschool for All eligibility requirements. We accept new parent interest forms and can support families to connect with the County enrollment outreach partners. Families in the Reynolds School District can apply directly to the Preschool for All program and select up to 6 potential preschools to visit and consider for their child.
