Center Montessori School is very proud to be beginning our 50th year educating children in Manatee County. We have classes for children ages 18 months through 8th grade, with trained and certified Montessori teachers in an environment that includes individual lessons and workplans, individual advancement including high school credit offerings, dedicated time working outside in our botany program, limited time on screens, and limited demands of homework. We make the most of each day with your child, developing mathematical minds and reading and writing skills, and also paying attention to the whole child building executive function and conflict resolution skills.

Business Review
"I love Center Montessori School! I attended Center in the late 70’s and 80’s, and I credit Center for my early confidence, excellent work ethic, advanced placement academically after graduating, and peace focused approach to conflict. I have also seen many of my relatives go through the school and experience the same results. Now my two children attend Center, currently 5th and 7th grade; they have attended Center since they were 2 years old. I am watching them thrive and experience the same gifts I did. I love Center for the kind, brilliant, well educated, loving and exceptional teachers and staff. I love Center for the equanimity, inclusion, and equality they practice. And finally, I love Center for the Community that envelopes my kids with support and the lifelong friendships that are born from it. My husband and I couldn’t imagine a better school for our children!"
"We have been part of the Center Montessori community since our son was 2 years old, and it has been an incredibly meaningful journey. He has developed a genuine love of school and a natural curiosity that carries into everything he does. The environment has helped him build confidence, independence, and lasting friendships, while also nurturing kindness and respect for others. We truly value how the school not only supports his academic growth, but also prepares him to be a thoughtful, capable, and confident person beyond the classroom. We have all benefited from his time at Center Montessori. For me, it's given me peace of mind that my son goes to a school each and every day where it feels like a second home for him. What a gift! I cannot recommend the school enough."
