Williamsburg
Williamsburg is North Brooklyn's converted-warehouse waterfront — brick lofts and factory windows along the East River, with skyline and bridge views and quick access on the L and J/M/Z.
Overview
Carrig Montessori is an independent AMS-member Montessori in Williamsburg serving children from toddler age through Grade 5. Its headline feature is value: at roughly $22,500, it's markedly more affordable than most NYC independent Montessori — and unusually, it carries that affordability into the elementary years.
Programs & ages
Toddler and 3–6 Primary communities continue into a lower-elementary program through Grade 5, so families can stay through the early grades without switching schools.
Tuition 2026–27
Around $22,500 — one of the lowest independent-Montessori figures in our directory, especially notable given it includes elementary. Confirm current pricing and any aid. Compare on the tuition page.
Leadership & staff
Leadership is listed on the school's site, but full per-teacher credentials aren't posted — worth asking about, particularly for the elementary guides.

What parents say
Independent review volume is limited. The clear draw is authentic-style Montessori through elementary at an accessible price in a desirable neighborhood — weigh a tour heavily.
