History
Lefferts Gardens Montessori (LGM) is a progressive, independent Pre-school and Elementary school located in the historic Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn. We are fortunate to have cultural resources nearby only minutes away from the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn Public Library and other cultural sites. We are committed to educating students from a wide variety of cultural, religious, racial, and economic backgrounds in the Montessori tradition. We foster a sense of global community, enriched by our diverse traditions. Our current enrollment is approximately 120 children from ages 2 through 10 years old with an average student:teacher ratio of 8:1.
Specialties
Our Toddler, Preschool and Elementary classrooms (for children ages 2-12 years) are lead by Montessori certified and trained teachers under the guidance of the American Montessori Society.
