Get Close-to-Homeschooling
at Springs East Montessori School
Children are naturally curious. We help them discover answers to their questions. Just like you would.
The hands-on approach at Springs East Montessori School sets the stage for life-long learning. We start with a structured environment. Then we fill it with toys, games, and activities that excite young imaginations. Just like you would do in a home school.
​
And, if you live in Montgomery, Indian Hill, Loveland, or Madeira, we're also close to your home. We're in Symmes Township.
Our address: 9429 Loveland-Madeira Road, near the intersection with Remington Road
Our approach is child-centered. Your children get personal attention and encouragement as they try and succeed. We like to think we are the cheerleaders of their achievement!
​
We believe that learning is not a competition. Each child has his or her own strengths. Your child might excel in one subject and struggle in another, even across "grade levels." We support achievements and encourage growth at your child’s level. It's a custom-fit education.
Your children get a foundation that starts with a love of learning. Our students take their Montessori experience with them into lives filled with confidence, dignity, and compassion for others.
