Childrens House Montessori Preschool & Kindergarten was founded in 1974 and is conveniently located the corner of Mountain Avenue and Shields Street.
The principles and philosophy of the school are based upon the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori who believed that children must have the freedom to be themselves and to trust their own intuition in order to develop fully their physical, intellectual, and spiritual powers.
The Childrens House Montessori School continues to advance the Montessori tradition and has established itself as a leader in quality alternative education. It is a place where children can fully explore, enjoy, and enrich their developing minds.
Childrens House Montessori School is owned and operated by Mary Crosby and Betsy Joseph. Mary Crosby is a Montessori certified instructor who has been teaching since 1979, and Betsy Joseph has taught at Childrens House Montessori and Webber Junior High for over 20 years; she has also raised 4 Montessori-educated children.

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that education is a process of discovery. Children will discover ideas on their own if given the right tools. Confidence and self-esteem grow from this process of observation and discovery. As students become able to teach themselves, they become self-reliant and personally responsible.
In their early years, children develop an emotional, intellectual, physical and social foundation. Concentration, independence, self-discipline, and a sense of order and responsibility are prerequisites for becoming productive citizens of the world. Our goal is to encourage the development of responsible and caring people who can direct their lives and contribute to making the world a better place.
The Montessori Method provides a carefully prepared environment of learning materials and experiences. We group students in mixed-age classes allowing them to interact with other children on a variety of intellectual and social levels. Teachers facilitate the learning process by directing the children toward meaningful activity through which they discover and develop their interests and abilities and experience the outcome of their choices. Childrens House Montessoris goal is to encourage children to become independent, self-reliant students who take a lifelong responsibility for their own education and development.
