The Only Accredited Montessori School in the Toledo-Area

You’ve heard about the Montessori method. You may have even read about it. But the only way to understand it is to see it in action, firsthand. West Side Montessori has been a child development leader for over 35 years with academic programs for toddlers, preschoolers, Kindergarten, elementary, and middle school.

Discover the West Side Montessori difference. West Side Montessori is a private school that meets or exceeds the State of Ohio curricula requirements for K-8 and is the only Toledo-area Montessori school accredited by the American Montessori Society.
