Montessori school tuition

    What Montessori schools near you actually charge, from the rates schools have chosen to publish. We never estimate a number for a school that hasn't shared one.

    Sticker price only. Government subsidies can change what a family actually pays — see below.

    Some figures are from the school's published information, not confirmed by the school — see each city page for which ones. Schools can claim their listing and set their own tuition anytime.

    Subsidies and tax relief

    Subsidized child care fees and the Canada Child Benefit. The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care initiative (CWELCC) reduces fees at participating licensed child care centres in most provinces/territories — it does not apply to private schools, so a Montessori school's Casa program (often licensed child care) may qualify while its Elementary program (often a private school) does not, even at the same address. The Canada Child Benefit is a separate, broader monthly payment to eligible families that isn't tied to any specific daycare. See the eligibility checker below for programs that may apply to your situation.

    We link to these programs for general awareness only — this isn't tax or benefits advice, and we never promise a specific dollar amount. Confirm current rules and your own eligibility with the official program or a tax professional.

    Which subsidies might apply to you?

    General awareness only, not a determination of eligibility or a dollar estimate — always confirm with the official program.
