Programs
Founded in Lexington, KY in 1998, Creative Montessori is a one-classroom school offering high-quality education to young children. Our experienced teachers combine Montessori theory with practical, hands-on materials in a variety of learning areas.
Half-day Preschool and Kindergarten
Children ages 3-6 attend school from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, Monday through Friday, September through May. The class is limited to 24 children attending either preschool or kindergarten; four teachers on staff provide for a low student-teacher ratio.
Tuition is $4,680 for the nine-month school year ($520 per month)
Extended-Day Program
Eligible children from the morning program may also attend the afternoon program, which meets from noon to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Students are eligible if they have completed two years of Montessori education and/or will be five years old by August 1, 2025. This class is designed to prepare students for elementary school by offering them a longer school day, including lunch, chores, and afternoon group work.
Tuition is $6,030 for the nine-month school year ($670 per month)
Note: full-day programs are not offered.
Creative Montessori School does not discriminate in enrollment or any other policies on the basis of race, religion, or ethnic or national background.
