A Lifetime Foundation

“There are many who hold as I do that the most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first, the period from birth to the age of six.  For that is the time when man’s intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed.” 

Dr. Maria Montessori


MONTESSORI EDUCATION is not only a philosophy, but also a method to guide the child’s growth.  Our goal is to help the child cultivate his natural desire to learn. Our emphasis is on self-learning and the development of inner discipline.

Activities progress from basic to more complex, therefore success is more easily and naturally accomplished. Classroom materials are adapted regularly to keep the child's interest.  In the 3-6 year old classes, the mixed age grouping enhances the child’s opportunities to observe, follow or lead. The child’s chances of failure are minimized and his chances for success are enhanced. The child is personally guided and recognized by the staff as a unique individual.


FAMILY ACTIVITIES are encouraged.  A variety of events are planned each year for parents. A fall seminar is focused on the Montessori philosophy. Parent discussion groups are held throughout the year. Picnics, parties, open houses, educational classes, conferences and workshops will be offered throughout the school year. Each June we celebrate our Kindergarten graduation with a family night at Pirates’ Cove; a child sized amusement park operated by Elk Grove Park District. The Valentine Ball has been a BGMS tradition for many years. Alumni return to join the party year after year. Your participation in these events will enrich your experience at Buffalo Grove Montessori School.

Parent Discussion Groups are held monthly on Wednesdays from 5 to 6PM.
You are welcome to join us. Call us for the next topic and date.
