Before you enroll

Choosing a Montessori school in St Louis

  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 Missouri 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?

Are Montessori schools licensed in Missouri?

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.
