Montessori Preparatory School Of Ocala, INC.

Cons: Very expensive tuition, you have to pay for and provide many of the supplies to the school, they charge for a full month regardless of if your child comes to school that day or not. They don't like children who "disrupt the environment" so make sure your child is quiet and does not cry too loudly, or else they'll call you and ask for a pickup. They don't really communicate with parents (they may make some decisions with little to no communication or assume you already know). Despite this being a "Montessori school" the child will have to follow a curriculum that does not emphasize their strengths (as i guess Montessori is supposed to do), and does not seem to be a child led environment; this makes a parent wonder why not place your child in a cheaper school if it's not actually Montessori after all? 🤷🏼‍♂️. Lunch is not provided, besides a pizza Friday you have to pay for. Uniforms also must be purchased. They care very little for parent feedback. Pros: School seems safe and is clean. Teachers assistants are kind, the location is pretty accessible. Pickup and drop off are quick and there's not much traffic.

As a father, I cannot speak more highly of this Montessori school—it is truly the best. From the very top down, every single person here pours their heart into what they do. They don’t just teach your children; they love them, guide them, and nurture them as if they were their own. In today’s world, it can be hard to trust others with your children, but with Mrs. Pauline and her incredible team of teachers, that trust comes naturally. My children are thriving beyond my wildest expectations—not only academically, where they are excelling, but also in the type of people they are becoming. They are being molded into kind, thoughtful, and confident individuals who naturally choose kindness and curiosity in their daily lives. That is the true gift of Montessori. The program itself far outperforms any other approach I’ve seen. With the world rapidly changing and AI shaping the future, Montessori stands out in preparing children to think deeply, critically, and creatively. Rather than just memorizing, they learn how to problem-solve, innovate, and adapt—skills that will set them apart in tomorrow’s world. On top of everything, it’s incredible how many wonderful activities are brought right into the school—soccer, art club, Spanish, dance, and more. As a parent, it’s such a blessing to know my children are getting these enriching experiences during the school day, without the constant running around after work. It saves time, brings peace of mind, and lets our kids grow in so many areas all in one place. This school is not just about education; it is about raising whole, compassionate, and capable human beings. If you are a parent searching for the very best foundation for your children, look no further—this Montessori school is nothing short of amazing.

Amazing school. Both my niece and nephew are enrolled and as a result they are the brightest kids I know. On top of that, they are kind and compassionate. The staff is incredible, very caring and pays attention to the details of what makes a proper education. The property is also beautiful and very welcoming!

My family loves this school. Teachers and staff are kind and caring. My daughter has learned and grown so much in the time she has attended.
