About Us

Our school was established in 1984, by a group of parents who believed that the teaching philosophy developed by Maria Montessori was the best way to educate young children.
They wanted a Montessori education for their own children, so they started the Sullivan Montessori School.  The school is a not for profit corporation, Sullivan Montessori, Inc.  The corporation is run by a board of directors.  The board members are parents of past and present children enrolled in Sullivan Montessori School.

As a Montessori School, "Sullivan Montessori" adheres to the educational objectives and philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952), an Italian physician and natural scientist whose discoveries about how children learn revolutionized teaching concepts throughout the world in the first part of this century.  Dr. Montessori realized that no human being is ever education by another person, and felt that the goal of education should not be to fill the child with facts from a preschool course of studies, but rather to cultivate his own natural desire to learn.
