Where is the training program located?

The TEP uses the learning environments located at CRA. Due to the schedule of our program, we are able to use these classrooms for academic coursework when school is not in session (summer and weekends). The school serves as the learning environment for our adult learners. In addition, there is a resource room where adult learners can make materials and practice. The following are also available on site:

  • Adult learning space with full size, small group, tables and chairs (lecture class)
  • Full kitchen
  • On-site parking
  • Professional Resource Library
  • Administrative office space

It is located at 2625 Anderson Rd, Crescent Springs, KY 41017. Montessori schools in the area are sometimes used for workshops and observations.
