Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician, developed the Montessori method of education over 100 years ago. Through her observations of children at work and play, Dr. Montessori recognized that humans experience distinctive developmental periods in their journey from birth to adulthood. Montessori knew that if children were placed in a learning environment specifically designed to meet their needs at a particular developmental period, learning would be effortless, joyful, and satisfying.

★★★★★ A school that still allows children to totally relish in being a child while allowing parents to grow and mature too. Love and community are truly the hallmarks of M.I.T. Our daughter loves it! - Chanda Leigh
★★★★★ All 3 of my kids go to this school and I couldn't be more pleased. The teachers, faculty, and families are incredible, and a Montessori education is opening doors they would never have otherwise. My kids are so different from each other, so I never thought the same school would suit all 3 of them. I now see how Montessori schools accommodate all learning styles and personalities, and this one is fantastic. - Stephanie Taylor Warner
★★★★★ I just want to say THANK YOU for everything that you do, but more specifically for being so transparent and communicative with us. It means the world to me that I never have to guess about what is going on or where the school stands. Because of the open lines of communication I always know that you guys are doing everything to keep my babies safe. As a family who has had to be tested every week since coming back in January, I know that testing can be inconvenient, but I so appreciate you requiring it of us and all other families in order to what is best for students and staff. - Darci Parken
