Illuminate Montessori was founded and is led by a team of experienced Montessorians who are also parents. Together, we bring decades of experience in Montessori education, school leadership, teacher development, and supporting children and families. We understand our work from both sides: as educators committed to providing an authentic Montessori experience and as parents who understand the trust it takes to place your child in the care of a school each day.

Our commitment to authentic Montessori goes beyond the classroom environment. We invest in the development of our educators so that the adults guiding our children understand not only the Montessori materials, but also the philosophy, child development, observation, and intentional practice behind them.Across our schools, we are committed to having AMS-credentialed Montessori Guides leading every one of our classrooms and creating environments where children are known, respected, challenged, and trusted to grow in independence. That commitment extends to how we invest in our educators. Illuminate Montessori is proud to serve as an AMS-approved satellite site, creating a proprietary pathway for our educators to grow into credentialed Montessori professionals.
