Dr. Maria Montessori created the Association Montessori International (AMI) organization to globally protect the authenticity of her educational method.

Our children have attended White Bear Montessori for the last 5 years. We feel the Montessori method supports learning in the best ways possible (self-motivated, mixed ages) and teachers are wonderful and engaged. The community of White Bear Montessori has always felt like an extended family to us.
