Partnering with AEME
Partnerships open the door for many more children and families to have access to high-quality neighborhood preschools—we Partner to Make it Happen!
We seek partners who share our vision and want an AEME preschool co-located in their community. We do the work to fund, plan, open and operate—and make it easy for our partners.
Do you have:
- space for a pre-school—or the interest in planning with us to build or remodel a space?
- connections with young families who would like to learn more about our preschools?
- a shared vision to increase access to high-quality, tuition-free early childhood education?
- an elementary school in your neighborhood where families would benefit from having a high-quality, full-day preschool?
Together, we can plan, open and operate high quality early childhood education classrooms that are financially strong for years to come. Together we keep promises to the community and parents.
AEME Partners With Public and Charter Schools

Benefits for ours Partners:
- Parents tend to keep their children at an elementary school where they’ve had positive pre-K experiences.
- Children thrive with the consistency of progressing at the same location.
- Our Montessori focus on reading, writing, and language skills strength the child and help them be prepared for their educational journey to come.
What can happen when we do this:
- Parents get access to tuition free preschool in their neighborhood or chosen charter school—geographic access—financial access.
- Children can walk to school with their older siblings/ parents, or have access to safe student transportation from the school partner.
- Children transition easily from our preschool into elementary classrooms.

What can happen when we do this:
- Parents get access to tuition free preschool in a place that is convenient for them.
