Montessori Children's Schoolhouse was established in 1968 as a not-for-profit organization by a group of interested parents. These parents were dedicated to the ideals of the Montessori philosophy and recognized the need for an early learning experience for their own children. They believed that direct parental control of the school, with voluntary support and with a highly competent staff, was the best means of assuring a quality program. In its first academic year (1968-1969), Montessori Children’s Schoolhouse had an enrollment of 28 students in its preschool. Since that time, a toddler program, extended day/kindergarten program, before and after school programs, and an elementary program have been added. The school’s enrollment now exceeds 150 students. Our present location was purchased in 1984. The building, originally built in 1926 for Northern States Life Insurance Company, was declared a local historical landmark by the Common Council of the City of Hammond in 1985. |
