The school provides children with a stimulating environment that will enhance their interest in learning while promoting social interaction, emotional development, physical coordination, and cognitive preparation. It builds a solid foundation of academic skills, indispensable to future learning endeavors. Children are encouraged to develop an ability to work independently based on their own initiatives; thus, stimulating concentration, sense of order, and self-discipline. Furthermore, the children are given the freedom to explore their environment, learn from mistakes, and internalize concepts and in effect, encouraging their curiosity and desire to learn what interests them.

The Skokie Montessori is affiliated with the American Montessori Society as a full member, and it is registered under the Illinois Board of Education and licensed from the DCFS.

The Skokie Montessori School is dedicated to help the child develop within himself a positive self-image through a series of repetitive successes in performing activities which answer his inner needs. The child thus gains conviction that he can do things by himself and that he is worthwhile. The child thrives on his feeling of accomplishment which helps build his self-confidence, initiative, persistence and sense of order. Permeated with feelings of confidence and security, he/she is prompted to venture forth in new activities, putting things together in a way fanning the spark of creativity within. The Skokie Montessori School provides a classroom atmosphere which encourages social interaction for cooperating, learning, peer teaching and emotional development.

The Directors of the Skokie Montessori School are formally trained and certified with over 19 years of expertise in their respective areas of specialization.

The Skokie Montessori School is elated to have a strong team of advocate parents, directresses, and school administrators. Relying on a firm relationship and partnership within the community, the school, itself, will continue to maintain an effective program and a successful learning environment to achieve the potential needs of children.

"COMPASSION is the word that we would use to describe Skokie Montessori School. It taught our kids the most valuable life lessons they couldn't have learned in a happier or more enjoyable environment. It was there that they made their first friends, people that probably will stay with them all the way, and who they know will stay friends with them for the rest of their lives. They have been learning the importance of respect and teamwork at Skokie Montessori, through working with other children collaboratively to solve problems. They will always remember the teachers who are guiding them all these years, who are teaching their students with dedication and appreciation for their subjects, and are passing their interest on to them. As we observe our kids as they come home from school, we know that they have had the best experiences at Skokie Montessori, learning about the world with a hands-on, engaging manner that encourages them to ask questions. The school gives them a jump-start into life, providing them with the confidence and courage to speak for themselves, and the encouragement to follow their dreams. Thanks to Skokie Montessori, our kids are becoming curious, well-rounded kids, and they will owe all of their successes to the school that taught them to believe in their selves.

Skokie Montessori is a very nurturing environment not just from the academic point of view. The teachers, administrators and staff make great efforts to care about the children's overall well-being. They are not only there to teach the kids ABCs and 123s, they are there to teach the children how to be confident, how to hold their heads high, how to grow up to be a balanced and caring human being.

At the end of the day, what's makes us parents keep sending our kids to Skokie Montessori year after year is the ultimate trust. We trust that our sons are at the care of a very safe and nurturing environment, we trust that all the teachers are doing everything solely for the well being of the children, and we trust that the teachers, administrators and staff will do whatever they can to keep the quality and the integrity of the school for years to come.""

“The most important thing for parents is having peace of mind. It is so important that adults taking care of my children have integrity as well as the right academic skills. Both of the children developed these skills for the two and one half years being in the School of Skokie Montessori.

What was exhibited with every child was how they learned to resolve conflict. Academics are taught with different varieties and enrichment. I have seen that here with a high standard approach in the curriculum.

Teachers are very professional and I feel confident and comfortable asking questions in regards about any concern I may have about my children. We feel at home being in school.

The school has a positive attitude toward all the children, and when special needs arise they are able to meet those needs by continuing their support and knowledge.

We were always given the opportunity to meet other families who children attended the School of Skokie Montessori. All the staff of the School of Skokie Montessori is really dedicated, hard working, and enthusiastic working with children.

My own children have shown significant growth in their academic skills.”
