Montessori School of Centerville, Inc. was established in 1977 as a non-profit school dedicated to educating young children using teaching methods developed by Maria Montessori. We currently serve children ages three through six, providing pre-school, kindergarten, first grade, and before and after school care.
We are preparing competent, self confident learners who are respectful of themselves and others.
Such children are capable of making the most of whatever learning environment they are later exposed to.
