Montessori Center Room

Montessori Center Room is a nonprofit Montessori school in Cincinnati, OH, located in the East End inside the historic St. Rose School Building along the Ohio River. The school provides an intentionally prepared Montessori environment for young children, with classrooms focused on practical life, sensorial learning, early literacy, and foundational mathematics. Educators act as guides, using hands-on materials and guided choice to build independence, concentration, self-motivation, and responsibility at each child’s pace.

Programs include Preschool (8:30–11:30 AM), a Kindergarten/Third Year option (Monday–Thursday 8:30 AM–3:00 PM; Friday 8:30–11:30 AM), and Enrichment (11:30 AM–5:30 PM, Monday–Friday; hours noted for the 2025–2026 school year). Classroom teachers hold at least a bachelor’s degree and are fully trained and certified in the Montessori philosophy and curriculum; all staff receive training in First Aid, CPR, Communicable Diseases, and Child Abuse Recognition.

Montessori Center Room operates as a 501(c)(3) parent corporation governed by an elected Board of Trustees, with daily operations led by the Executive Director and Teaching Staff. The school was founded to offer preschool education to children of low-income families and continues to welcome families of all races, religions, ethnic backgrounds, and socio-economic groups. The main entrance is at the back of the building, with ample parking. Tours and classroom observations are available.
