About us
Dr. Maria Montessori developed a school that differed from the traditional adult centered classroom. She named her first school the "Casa dei Bambini" or the "Children's House". Her choice of words emphasized that the classroom was not the domain of adults, but a carefully prepared environment that facilitated the development of children.
The Montessori Center, a small school serving a maximum of 30 students and their families, was established in 1982. Specializing in an all day program, the classroom, located in a old home in the Lincoln Way East Historic district of South Bend, takes Montessori back to it's Italian roots. Instead of the more typical classroom setting of one room, Montessori Center children have the freedom to explore 5 beautiful rooms, each representing a different curricular area - math, language, cultural subjects, sensorial or practical life.
