Tuition

Tuition at Damariscotta varies depending on which program a child enrolls in, whether they participate in extended days, and if they are in the primary program, how many hours/days they are enrolled. Tuition is a single annual amount. We offer multiple payment plans, including the popular monthly option.

We believe that all children should have access to high-quality Montessori education, and we do everything possible to ensure our programs are not cost-prohibitive to families. Our tuition amount is in line with other local private schools, and we accept town tuition funds (school choice).
