Montessori Compass
Brightwheel
An investment worth making.
We keep our pricing simple and our value obvious: warm care, Montessori-trained guides, lunch and snacks, and enrichment built into the week. And because cost should never decide a child’s start, we offer need-based financial aid.
More is included than you might expect
Lunch & two snacks
Full-day tuition includes a hot lunch and two snacks each day. School-age children get a PM snack and transportation.
Extracurriculars included
Karate, yoga, Spanish, robotics, and more are complimentary — woven into the week at no extra charge.
A 5% family discount
Enroll more than one child and take 5% off each additional child, across every program.
