McKenzie Montessori Institue Programs

We offer a wide variety of programs to meet your child’s needs.

Nurturing Growth at Every Stage

Early Learning Excellence

Our program is tailored to each stage of your child’s development, spanning four age-divided classrooms. In addition to our core curriculum, all students benefit from Spanish and Physical Education classes.

We also offer optional Before & After care for families seeking extended care options.

Children acquire knowledge through experience in the environment.

Preschool Promise

Free, full-time preschool for kids ages 3 and 4!

Preschool Promise, funded by the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care, provides free, full-time preschool to eligible 3 and 4-year-olds. It offers culturally relevant programs in various settings across Lane County—including McKenzie Montessori Institute. Enrollment uses a lottery system, prioritizing children with special needs and emerging language learners. Families must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify.

Support for Unique Needs

We understand that every child is unique, and some may not neatly fit into our four age-divided stages due to developmental delays or other individual factors. At McKenzie Montessori Institute, we’re committed to working closely with families to ensure the best possible placement for your child’s development and comfort. Our dedicated team will collaborate with you to create a personalized plan that meets your child’s needs, fostering a supportive environment where every child can thrive.
