Lakewood Montessori Announces Location, Prepares to Open in the Fall

After an exhaustive search, Lakewood Montessori School has chosen Lakewood's Church of the Ascension as the site for their new school.

Lakewood Montessori School Director, Beki Poitras told Patch that the site on the east end of Lakewood between Garfield Middle School and Lakewood Garden Center is ideal for the school's current plans.

"We’re thrilled to have a home in the heart of Lakewood that includes all of these wonderful amenities. We are also cheered by the warm and enthusiastic welcome we’ve received from the community at Church of the Ascension," she says.

Some of the amenities that the new school offers are: private access, two classrooms, dedicated student restrooms and pantry/food preparation area, easy access to child drop off/pick up, spacious outdoor areas for learning and play and shared use of a gymnasium. Additionally, the school will have raised garden beds through a partnership with neighboring Lakewood Garden Center.

Poitras told Patch that the school will follow the Lakewood School District's schedule and will open in the fall on August 23rd.

The school will offer programming for full-day and half-day Montessori Preschool and full-day Montessori Kindergarten for children ages 3- to 6-years-old. Spots are still available, visit the Lakewood Montessori School website for program and enrollment information.
