The Kinder Garden School, West Chester

The Kinder Garden School Blue Ash was founded in 2004 by Tami Lanham and Suzi Lenhart. The goal was to provide a unique and stellar educational experience for children ages 6 weeks through preschool. As the school grew, families requested that the school continue to offer low ratios, quality education and supportive care into a developing Montessori program. The school is founded on the principles of listening and responding to the changing needs of its families and community. The Kinder Garden School aligned ourselves with the principles of Maria Montessori’s educational theory of following the child and tailoring the curriculum to meet the changing needs of each student. These are the roots on which the school has developed. In 2006, based on parent requests, The Kinder Garden School added an additional location in West Chester. We also expanded our before and after school programs to include children in the Sycamore School District up through the end of 5th grade. We believe that fostering intellectual, entrepreneurial, technical talent, and design thinking will produce well-balanced students who will go on to become productive members of society. We embrace a culture of inclusion, expansion, accepting failures and refinement. These are the principles on which the school has been built and how the staff and student culture has evolved. Our quaint school offers a truly unique approach to learning.
