West End Montessori School sees its role as being assistants to the parents. Nurturing your child is the most important job we have. We understand that we are setting a life–pattern for your children by providing support for their intellectual and emotional growth at this fragile point of life. We hope that each child’s experiences at West End Montessori School (WEMS) will allow them to develop a sense of self–confidence that encourages inquisitiveness, initiative and independence in learning for the joy of learning.

Our lead teachers are certified by the American Montessori Society (AMS). Assistant teachers are individuals with college degrees, experience in a Montessori classroom, or experience with young children. All teachers use their expertise to function in a team approach to provides a well–rounded learning environment for your child. Most importantly, our teachers love to work with children!

We want to share with you the respect and delight that we take in your child’s growth. In this regard, we offer many opportunities for you to share this important environment with them. As a parent, you are encouraged to attend meetings, workdays and classes to allow you to get to better know our school and staff, provide growth opportunities in your personal parenting skills, and show your child by your actions that his/her school is important to you.
