Discover your child’s other happy place

A Montessori school for children ages birth to 12 years.

Why do so many families choose Montessori?

We Emphasize More than Just Academics


We honor your child’s individuality and focus on curiosity, independence, compassion, collaboration, and critical thinking, preparing him or her to take on the future with confidence, propelled by the gift of self knowledge and a passion for learning.



…but the Academics Are a Huge Strength 


It is not uncommon to see four-year-olds in our school reading, six-year-olds completing long division problems, and nine-year-olds classifying botanical specimens. Our curriculum presents skills at the time when children are most ready to learn.


We’re a Community


Our school is a community for more than just the children. We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child. Because children thrive when home and school work in harmony. 




Joliet Montessori School shows how all schools should be. The atmosphere when you walk in is relaxed and welcoming. The classrooms are custom to the age range of the children to make it feel like it’s their room. The staff is open and friendly answering any and all questions no matter who it is.
