Where are you located?
Meridian Montessori is located in the historic Mount Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.
What are your age requirements?
We accept children age 3 to 6 years. Occasionally, based on readiness, observation and parent feedback, we accept children age 2.5 to 3.
What kind of parent participation do you expect?
We view your child’s education as a collaborative effort; thus, parent participation is encouraged and expected. We ask parents to bring snack on a rotating basis. We hope parents will join us for events such as our annual garden planting and classroom celebrations. We also encourage parents to help create continuity in their child’s development and to maximize their child’s classroom experience by incorporating Montessori principles at home. Strong parental involvement is a key component of the Montessori philosophy and naturally fits our cooperative format.
How much is tuition?
Tuition for our preschool program begins at $350/month. Please contact us for additional information regarding tuition and fees, including lunch bunch, multi-sibling discount and other options.
How do I know if Montessori is right for my child?
Parents are encouraged to arrange a visit to learn more about the Montessori philosophy and our integrative approach. As a community of Montessorians, we also welcome the opportunity to connect you with other families who have experienced the Montessori difference.
Does the preschool program follow the public school schedule?
We begin our regular school year just after Labor Day and end classes just before Memorial Day. Typically, all public school holidays are observed.
Do you offer a summer program?
We offer our preschool prep program during the summer months.
