San Tan Montessori Private Preschool has a 10-month academic year for all classes.
Tuitions are based on the full year’s fee which has been divided into 10 equal monthly payments for your convenience. Full tuition of 10 months can be paid upon the program start and will be given a 5% discount when paid in full. Payments are not considered “monthly” charges; they are the full year’s tuition divided into a 10-month period.

Total tuition will be reduced at a rate of 10% if multiple students from the same families are enrolled in our Preschool program.

Music Together™
The Music Together™ Preschool program certified specialist provides children with a weekly opportunity to learn music in developmentally appropriate ways. Recordings, songbooks, and teaching materials are provided to each classroom.
Music Together™ materials allow children to “bring the music home.” CD sets, music books, and supporting material are sent home for parent-child musical play, sharing the songs and activities learned in school.
Carter’s Farm
A connection to Nature and the development of Practical Life skills are embedded throughout our Preschool experience. One way in which we bring the real world into our San Tan Private Preschool learning experience is through our partnership with Carter’s Farm.
A farmer visits our Preschool every few weeks, bringing with them a variety of farm animals to introduce to our students. The children learn about the animals through teaching and hands-on experience; developing their social skills through conversation and class teamwork.
Outdoor Environment
Our Outdoor Environment activities enable our students to strengthen their connection with Nature through ongoing exploration of the seasons, gardening, tending to the Montessori Hens, as well as flexibility to bring classwork outside. Science work is explored through various projects including studying plant growth patterns inside through our tower gardens vs. outside gardening. Students enjoy harvesting, prepping, eating, and selling the fruits, vegetables, and herbs they have grown.
