Having always known education was my true passion, I followed my heart and first joined Aurora Montessori School as a primary teacher. Currently, I am honored to lead a wonderful, dedicated staff that help make our school a very special place! My husband and I, proud parents of two AMS graduates, live in Aurora with our beautiful Golden Retriever, Bear!

Qualifications and Standards
From infants to school-age, our age-appropriate programs nurture your child's academic, social, and emotional growth every step of the way. Every day, children experience plenty of outdoor playtime, while a healthy breakfast, lunch, and plenty of snacks are served.
As children mature, they see practical life exercises that adults find commonplace as interesting and extraordinary, such as sorting, pouring, and washing dishes. Because control and coordination of mind and body is still developing, the Montessori Method includes tangible experiences with concrete materials used to learn math, movable alphabets to explore language, and cubes, cylinders, and other shapes to categorize, find spatial relationships, and more.
Goal! In this program, your child develops early soccer skills and learns about teamwork spending time on the field with friends.
Families trust us to care for, nurture, and support their children during these important early years. Let them tell you why.
We love AMS. We suggest the school to other friends who has small kids. They learn practical life skills, coginitive skills. The teachers and administration are highly skilled and professional. They play key roles in shaping the kids’ interests and skills.
I absolutely love the school, the admin and the teachers. The only thing I would change is the ability for my kids to attend beyond Kindergarten.
We love this school and our daughter does as well. We can't say enough about the director, administrative staff and teachers; they're all wonderful! We will (and have) highly recommended this school to our friends.
Great achool, great staff! I wouldn’t change it for anything! My daughter loves it!
I am so happy with our decision to join the Aurora Montessori family. This school fosters my children's natural curiosities for learning and they always enjoy seeing their teachers and friends each day.
My child is happy to go every day and is happy when I pick her up. That speaks volumes. She looks forward to school and it makes me feel good as a working parent that my child is thriving. Thank you to everyone for peace of mind that I have knowing that Mila loves her school!

Montessori classrooms bring together children of different ages to create a supportive learning community where children learn from one another. Younger children observe and learn from older classmates, while older children develop leadership, confidence, and responsibility by mentoring and helping their younger peers. This mixed-age environment encourages cooperation, respect, and meaningful relationships, allowing children to experience different roles as they grow within their classroom community.
