About Gan Montessori:
We are a Jewish Montessori early childhood program that began in September 2022. We are members of the Association of Illinois Montessori Schools (AIMS) and American Montessori Society (AMS). We are currently on the pathway for AMS accreditation. At Gan Montessori, children develop a strong sense of identity, self-confidence, and develop pride in their Jewish heritage. We view education as not just a means of transmitting knowledge, but as a way to support the full development of children as individuals and as members of a community. Gan Montessori is a place where children feel at home, and feel the freedom to explore and grow.
