Mount Prospect, Illinois · Infants through Kindergarten
Come see what a Montessori morning actually looks like.
On Saturday, October 10 we open the classrooms to families. Walk through while the work is out on the shelves, meet the guides who would be with your child every day, and ask every question on your list.
Takes about 30 seconds. No obligation, no sales pitch.
The hour, roughly
An hour that tells you more than any brochure.
-
1
Walk the classrooms
Infant, toddler, primary and kindergarten rooms, with the materials out and the shelves set the way the children find them each morning.
-
2
Meet the guides
Talk with the trained Montessori teachers who would actually be with your child, not just an admissions desk.
-
3
Ask the real questions
Ratios, naps, lunches, the rhythm of the day, tuition, what the first month looks like. Nothing is off the table.
Save your family’s spot
Tell us who’s coming and we’ll send the details, plus a reminder the day before.
Your details stay with the school. No spam, ever.
Inside Busy Bees
A prepared room, and children who know their way around it.
Montessori looks quiet from the doorway and busy up close. Here is what a normal morning looks like before anyone tidies up for visitors.
Work they choose
Children pick their own work from the shelf and return it when they are finished. Choice is the whole method, and it starts on day one.
Long, uninterrupted mornings
A three-hour work cycle means nobody is rushed off a task they are deep in. Concentration gets protected here.
Real jobs, real tools
Pouring, watering, sweeping, buttoning. Practical life work builds the independence that reading and maths sit on top of.
Why families stay
What Mount Prospect parents tell us matters most.
Six weeks to six years, one school
Infants, toddlers, primary and kindergarten under one roof, so your child is not starting over with new adults every September.
Trained Montessori guides
Credentialed teachers who stay year after year, in classrooms built around how children of that age actually learn.
Gardens and daily outdoor time
Natural play areas and gardens the children help tend themselves, outside every day the Illinois weather allows it.
Licensed, and an AMS member school
State and city licensed, serving the Village of Mount Prospect, and a member school of the American Montessori Society.
