Accessibility Statement

Full Circle Montessori School

Last updated: September 24, 2025

Our Commitment

At Full Circle Montessori School (“FCMS”), we believe that everyone — regardless of ability — should be able to access and use our website. We are committed to making our digital presence inclusive and accessible. We strive to adhere to recognized standards and best practices to ensure people with disabilities can navigate, understand, and interact with our site.

Measures We’ve Taken

To work toward accessibility, we have:

  • Incorporated semantic HTML elements and appropriate ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to improve compatibility with screen readers and assistive devices

  • Ensured that images include meaningful alt text (or decorative images are marked as null alt)

  • Structured content with headings (H1–H4) for logical reading order

  • Provided keyboard navigability for menus, links, and forms

  • Tested with multiple browsers and assistive tools (e.g. screen readers)

  • Applied sufficient color contrast between text and background for readability

  • Designed responsive layouts that adapt to various screen sizes and zoom levels

  • Included skip links (e.g. “Skip to Content”) to help users bypass repetitive navigation

Ongoing Work & Known Limitations

Accessibility is an ongoing journey, and we continue to examine and improve our site. Some limitations or challenges we are aware of:

  • Some embedded third-party content, plugins, or tools may not fully support assistive technologies

  • Some PDF or downloadable documents on the site may not (yet) meet accessibility best practices

  • Dynamic content or scripts may occasionally cause unexpected behavior for assistive technologies

We are actively working to address these issues and will continue evaluating and enhancing our site’s accessibility.
