Scholarships

Living in poverty during the preschool years harms children more than at any other time, both academically and economically. Imagine the difference three or four years of tailored learning in a nurturing environment could make for a child living at or below the poverty line.

A Lighthouse Montessori scholarship will fund a large percentage of tuition for our entire three- to four-year program. Children graduating from Lighthouse carry those years with them for the rest of their lives.

We plant the seeds for a life of learning in an environment built to meet their developmental needs. Lighthouse supports children precisely when it can make the biggest difference.

  • “The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult.”

    Dr. Maria Montessori

  • “It is necessary that the child teach himself, and then the success is great.”

    Dr. Maria Montessori

  • “The fundamental help in development, especially with little children of 3 years of age, is not to interfere. Interference stops activity and stops concentration.”
