Meridian Montessori's Primary program prepares children ages 3–6 for kindergarten and beyond — through self-directed, hands-on Montessori education.
Our Primary program covers five core Montessori areas plus creative arts — building a foundation that lasts a lifetime.
Sandpaper letters, moveable alphabet, and phonics-based reading by age 5.
Concrete math materials make abstract concepts tangible and intuitive.
Botany, zoology, and earth science through hands-on experiments.
Pouring, tying shoes, food prep — independence in action.
Grace, courtesy, and conflict resolution woven into every day.
Creative expression through paint, clay, instruments, and movement.
Everything on this page is the day-to-day of a single classroom band: the Primary program for ages three to six. It runs half day, full day or extended day, and each of those rates — plus the registration fee and the sibling discount — is published on our tuition page. Because we keep the rooms small, it is worth checking how many Primary seats are actually open before you settle on a start date.

My daughter entered barely knowing her letters. By the end of the year she was reading chapter books and doing addition. The academic growth was beyond anything we expected.

What impressed us most was how much our son genuinely loves going to school. He wakes up excited every morning. That love of learning is something no worksheet could ever teach.

The teachers here truly know our child. They noticed her interest in botany and built an entire unit around it. That level of individual attention is rare and incredibly special.
