Rooted in Clear Lake.
Grown with Love.
For over 50 years, Clear Lake Montessori School has been a second home for families right here in our community. Founded in 1973, our campus is more than just a building—it is a living ecosystem designed for discovery.
As a Full Member of the American Montessori Society, we stay true to the authentic method. Our classrooms flow naturally into our outdoor learning spaces—including our cherished vegetable and butterfly gardens.

"Due to the Montessori philosophy, every item has a place, and the kids really take care to place items back where they belong—even my 2 year old!"
Toddler Parent"I toured 5 local daycares before choosing this one. It’s a caring, warm, safe environment and overall has a chill vibe. The small classroom sizes make childcare feel like a community."
Preschool Parent"I was a nervous parent with many special requests, but the teachers provided the best support and never judged me. My daughter blossomed here."
Infant & Toddler Parent"The Montessori method for learning reading and math here is amazing—so hands-on and visual. Both of my kids have learned independence and confidence."
Kindergarten Parent"A HUGE plus is that they offer Spanish and Mandarin immersion. This school feels like a tight-knit family community where every single teacher knows my kids."
