How Enrollment Works
Step 1: Schedule a tour or attend an Open House (recommended first step)
Visiting our classroom is the best way to see Hollyhock in action, meet our teachers, and ask questions.
To schedule a tour, contact Erin at (479) 414-2361 or erin@hollyhockmontessori.org
You can also schedule a tour or phone call via Calendly here: https://calendly.com/hollyhockmontessori-info
Step 2: Submit a free online application
Families are welcome to apply at any time, and submitting an application does not obligate you to enroll.
While applications may be submitted before or after a tour, meeting in person is a required part of the enrollment process.
Step 3: Enrollment offer and next steps
Once you have visited Hollyhock and submitted and application, we'll be in touch with information about available openings and next steps.
About Our Tuition
We love the work we do and we are committed to making high-quality early education accessible to families in our community. Tuition at Hollyhock is set on a sliding scale. We are a Better Beginnings level 3 provider and we accept SRA (state preschool vouchers), EFA funding, and ACE scholarships.
Regarding SRA funding, waitlists, and our commitment to financial accessibility:
We know that there are families who have been on the SRA waitlist for many months. Despite the unprecedented changes to childcare funding in Arkansas over the past year, we remain committed to serving families at all income levels and to maintaining a classroom community that is socioeconomically diverse.
We have amended our sliding scale to include tuition levels for SRA-eligible waitlisted families, and have set aside a predetermined number of spots for children at each level of tuition. When you apply, you will select the tuition level that matches your income. Spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and we encourage families seeking enrollment at lower tuition tiers to enroll early. Once these spots are filled for 2026-27, families applying at these tuition levels will be placed on a waitlist.
We've learned a lot about the child care funding landscape over the last two years, and we know that every family's situation is different. We welcome open, honest conversations as part of the enrollment process, and we are always happy to discuss tuition, funding options, and timing during your tour, so families have the information they need to make a thoughtful and sustainable decision.

About Fees, Deposits, and other costs:
We charge no additional fees, and the cost of tuition is the true cost of our program.
We do ask families to pay a deposit equal to one month's tuition within 60 days of enrollment. This acts as your tuition payment for August 2026. While this deposit is necessary given the limited number of spots in our small school, families who need more time to pay or who need to pay in installments are encouraged to reach out to Erin to make arrangements.
The needs of mankind are universal. Our means of meeting them create the richness and diversity of the planet. The Montessori child should come to relish the texture of that diversity.
