Oak Meadow Montessori School

What Oak Meadow Montessori School does

Oak Meadow Montessori School is an independent, nonprofit private school founded in 1977 and based at 2 Old Pickard Lane in Littleton, Massachusetts. It serves approximately 130 students ages 15 months through Grade 6, drawn from more than 30 communities across the MetroWest Boston region. The school operates four core academic programs — Beginners (toddlers), Children's House (PreK-K), Lower Elementary (Grades 1-3), and Upper Elementary (Grades 4-6) — built on the Montessori method with multi-age classrooms, hands-on materials, and individualized pacing.

Instructional differentiation rests on the Montessori pedagogical framework, including proprietary learning materials such as the Moveable Alphabet, Decimal Layout, Stamp Game, and continent pushpinning exercises, alongside a year-round nature curriculum led by a full-time Naturalist. Specialty instruction is provided in music, art, drama, physical education, Spanish, and reading support. The school holds full accreditation from the Association of Independent Schools in New England (AISNE) and the American Montessori Society (AMS), and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).

Revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition (2026-2027 rates ranging from $22,094 to $31,256 depending on program and half-day/full-day status), with auxiliary income from Before and After Care ($15-35/day), a 10-week Summer Program, Otter Days care on non-school days ($80-135/day), athletics, and enrichment programming. Approximately 25% of the student body receives tuition assistance, and the school is governed by a Board of Trustees with Bridget Barrett-Parker serving as Head of School since 2025. Distribution is direct-to-family via campus tours, open houses, virtual information sessions, and parent referrals across the MetroWest catchment.
