Lower Campus

Our lower campus, situated on five wooded acres featuring beautiful gardens, is a lovely setting for the main school building, the Providence house, Toddler Loft, and the Founders' Arts and Activities Building.

The main building includes eight classrooms, a life lab, technology room, Spanish room, and our school library.  It is also home to our administrative offices. Throughout the building, primary, lower elementary and upper elementary levels each have their own wing with shared spaces serving as lunch rooms and activity areas. Science experiments and microscopes occupy the life lab area which also includes a complete kitchen for cooking and a greenhouse. The library, with more than 10,000 volumes, is maintained by a full-time librarian. The Founders' Arts and Activities Building contains an art studio, a music classroom and a half gym for physical education classes and after school programs. The toddler program occupies Providence House and the Toddler Loft. 

Outside on our grounds, many outdoor activities take place in our amphitheater which was constructed by a past student as an Eagle Scout project. Our campus includes three playgrounds - one for each level (toddler, primary, and elementary), all with age appropriate structures. 

Erdkinder Campus

The middle school campus resides on 2.5 acres near downtown Lexington. It is comprised of two buildings. The first has six classrooms and a full commercial kitchen used by students for cooking and baking, while the second, our Community Center, is used for occasions when the entire school meets and/or participates in an activity. In addition, the main classroom building is over 100 years old and has a rich history in the central Kentucky area. The outdoors is a significant part of the classroom space and currently includes various fruit trees, blackberry plants, and plans for gardens. Students have designated areas of the property to raise and care for chickens and to care for bee hives. The space will continue to evolve as students identify other projects, crops, etc. that they would like to develop as part of their studies. The property also adjoins a city park where basketball, tennis, and baseball facilities are currently available.

Our three children have thrived at Providence.The atmosphere there is one that is very difficult to put into words.The mutual respect between the children and the teachers is prevelent. Just this one important factor , I feel,sets the stage for an incredible amount of learning.

- Providence Parent

We can not say enough about the quality of education and developmental nurturing that our daughter has received at Providence. They stress each child’s ability to be strong and independent, as well as emphasize that each child progresses differently. We are so happy that we chose to send our daughter to Providence and would highly recommend them to any parents looking to place their child.
