LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A new preschool option will soon be available in Louisville.
Bezos Academy Louisville-Okolona will open at 7525 Jefferson Green Way near Jefferson's Landings next year.
"We love Louisville," said Allison Leader, director of external communications at Bezos Academy. "We use data to find out where there is a need and where we see a gap of the number of preschool age children who are eligible for preschool and the number of kids who actually have classes."
Bezos Academy offers a Montessori-based, or hands on, education, and wrap-around services for children from low-income families. The schools offer year-round education that is tuition-free, full day, and five days a week.
Louisville-based LDG Development has partnered with Bezos Academy to bring their facilities to Louisville.
The preschool has four classrooms and can serve up to 80 students annually. The location in Okolona will be the first of three locations to open in Louisville.
Bezos Academy Fairdale is scheduled to open in 2025, along with the other two locations.
Bezos Academy also has schools in Florida, Hawaii, Texas and Washington.
