Keeping our costs down

The Montessori Learning Center is a private secular based form of education. We are the only private Montessori in Okaloosa County and offer outstanding education at a lower rate than our competitors. We strive to keep our tuition costs down and have several fundraisers throughout the year in order to make this possible. We are often asked why our primary program is 5 days a week. The traditional Montessori classroom experience is for five consecutive days in order to allow the spontaneous learning of the child to flow smoothly. A child taken in and out of school every other day does not have the same opportunity to pursue unfolding interests. Our tuition fees are based on a ten (10) month school year, holidays included.

Tuition at Montessori preschools throughout the country is sometimes higher than other schools because of the extensive materials, encompassing environment, curriculum, and trained staff. It is, however, a very reasonable cost in contrast to other activities that you would plan for yourself or your child. It becomes a matter of what you value most. To give children the finest possible experience in their most sensitive years is to give them a strong foundation throughout their lives. Many educators believe that it is just as wise to invest in a child’s primary education as it is to invest in his college education. The child who enjoys learning and becomes self-directed at the critical early learning ages will benefit through all of his years of learning. The expense now is a profitable long-term investment!
