Amici is located at 1244 E. Chandler Blvd., Phoenix, AZ 85048, near Ahwatukee, Chandler, Tempe, Laveen, and South Phoenix.

Children learn through Mandarin, Spanish, and English in a trilingual Montessori environment.

Schedule a tour, visit the classrooms, and we will talk through your child’s age, schedule, tuition, and enrollment next steps.

Plan on proof of your child’s age, current immunization records, your pediatrician and emergency contact information, and the signed enrollment and health forms the office provides. If you are using Arizona ESA or DES, bring your approval paperwork as well. The office reviews the current checklist with you so nothing is missing on your child’s first day.

Spaces open as children move up or families relocate, so availability changes by classroom and by age group rather than all at once. When a classroom is full, your child is added to the list for that age group and the office contacts you as soon as a seat opens. Ask where you currently stand when you tour.

Earlier is better, since infant and toddler rooms tend to fill first. Many Ahwatukee families reach out in the winter or early spring for the following fall. If you are looking further ahead, you can still start the conversation now and be added to the list for the age group your child will be entering.

You can start mid-year whenever there is space in the right classroom. Montessori mixed-age rooms are built to welcome children at different points in the year, so a January or March start is normal. Call the school with your preferred start month and the team will tell you what is open or how long the wait looks.

A tour is strongly encouraged before you enroll. Seeing the classrooms, meeting the teaching team, and hearing how the three languages actually sound during the day tells you far more than a website can. Tours are also when you ask about ratios, schedules, and daily routines, which the team confirms for your child’s specific age group.

Apply for the Empowerment Scholarship Account through the Arizona Department of Education first, since the state decides eligibility and award amounts. Once you have an approval, share it with the office and complete the regular enrollment paperwork. The team will then walk you through how ESA payments are handled for your child’s program and schedule.

Start your application with the Arizona Department of Economic Security, which determines whether you qualify and how much assistance you receive. Bring your authorization to the office and complete the standard enrollment forms alongside it. The team will confirm what DES covers for your child’s age group and what portion, if any, remains yours.

Someone from the office follows up to confirm your child’s age group, the schedule you want, and current availability. From there you schedule a tour if you have not had one, complete the health and enrollment paperwork, and set a start date. If the classroom is full, you go on the list and are contacted when space opens.
