Lexington Friends Preschool is a nonprofit, secular, nature-based preschool located on Price Avenue in Lexington, Kentucky. It serves children from 14 months through age five in Montessori-inspired classrooms designed to encourage learning through hands-on exploration and independent choices. The school’s mission is to foster active, creative minds, compassion, respect for the environment, and appreciation of the world’s diversity.

Children can choose from language, math, science, sensorial, cultural, and practical living activities. Programs also include weekly enrichment classes and outdoor play in all weather.
