Lakewood Montessori School offers beautiful preschool, lower elementary and upper elementary environments ranging from age three through the sixth grade. The Montessori philosophy and method of education stimulates the child's intrinsic desire to learn and become independent. Specifically designed materials meet the developmental needs of each child.

Our goal is for each child to develop self-motivation, inner-discipline and respect: for self, for others and for the environment.
