About us

Guiding Children Through Their Most Crucial Years

We all need support through the most important period of our children: the early years

At Clear Lake Montessori School, we believe that the early years are the most important in a child’s life. Founded in 1973 in Houston, Texas, our school has been dedicated to nurturing each child’s natural love for learning through authentic Montessori education.

We provide thoughtfully designed programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and afterschool care for elementary-aged students.

As a Full Member of the American Montessori Society, our classrooms are fully equipped and complemented by outdoor learning spaces, including a vegetable garden and butterfly garden, fostering curiosity and independence.
