Welcome

Amity Montessori School is a privately funded preschool and kindergarten for children between the ages 2 and 6 years, located in beautiful Bloomington, Indiana.

Our Mission

To create and sustain an authentic private Montessori school accessible to the Bloomington community. Our core values are: respecting the child and where he/she is on the developmental continuum; creating a peaceful classroom where children respect each other and the adults; and promoting sustainability of the planet.

Our School

The home environment is the first classroom introduction for our young students and one, that we hope will provide a lasting foundation of positive experiences to support a lifetime of learning. We believe that young children learn best in a warm, comfortable and relaxed home setting–lovingly and thoughtfully reconfigured to suit the needs of a school.

The authentic Montessori classroom. I am the Lead Teacher, co-owner and Director of Amity Montessori School. I am an experienced, AMI trained Montessorian with a Masters degree in Education with years of experience as an Administrator in the ECE field. I guide the classroom in a positive, gentle, warm, and organized manner.

The organic school garden. The children at Amity Montessori School learn first hand the methods used to grow their own food. Together, we plant, maintain and harvest the school garden, using the produce for snack, and in practical life activities such as flower arranging. The garden is a place where many learning activities are born.

To create a space in which each child can find his or her talents and passions.
To provide a warm, family-like classroom and school environment.
