Before you enroll

Choosing a Montessori school in Phoenix

  1. 1

    Ask about credentials

    Ask whether lead teachers hold a Montessori credential, and from which training center.

  2. 2

    Watch a work period

    A Montessori room has a long, quiet work period with children choosing materials. Ask to observe one.

  3. 3

    Check the license

    Listings show the Arizona license and the state's inspection record where we hold them; a listing with no license record matched says so.

  4. 4

    Ask about cost and hours

    Many Montessori programs run half days. Ask about full-day and extended-day options and fees.

What is the difference between Montessori and daycare?

Is every school called Montessori the same?

No. The word Montessori is not protected, so any school may use it. Ask whether lead teachers hold a Montessori credential, for example from AMI or AMS training.

Are Montessori schools licensed in Arizona?

Every listing here comes from the Arizona child care license records.

What ages do Montessori programs take?

It varies. Many start at 2.5 or 3 years; some take toddlers or infants. Each listing shows the ages it serves.
