Bezos Academy Kissimmee - Poinciana is an eight-classroom, Montessori-inspired preschool located at Deerwood Elementary School, opened in partnership with the Osceola School District. We serve children who are 3 or 4 years old by September 1, from families earning up to 400% of the federal poverty level, and there is no cost to attend, including no co-payment for families who receive child care subsidies. Our building has room for 160 children. School runs on weekdays from 7:50 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., and we enroll full-time only. Children eat breakfast and lunch with us and get an afternoon snack. Classrooms hold up to 20 children with at least one adult for every 10, each room has a full set of Montessori materials, and our state-licensed teachers are trained in the Montessori method. Children work in practical life, language, math, sensorial, science and social studies, and creative expression, and they spend time every day in our outdoor environment. Admission is by lottery. Florida families already receiving School Readiness or VPK benefits who apply before the lottery may receive preference.
