About Us

History
 
Montessori Academy of Cincinnati, originally called The Child's Place, was established in 1987 offering a Montessori Preschool-Kindergarten program.  Over the years we grew and expanded from one preprimary classroom to three.  In 1999 we established our Elementary program and in 2004 we established our Middle School program.

Our original 2400 sq. ft. building expanded to 16,000 sq. ft, which we quickly outgrew.  In January 2005 we moved into our  51,000 sq. ft. facility that is located one mile from our original site. 

 


Mission

Our purpose is to promote the growth and development of children from early childhood through middle teenage years by instilling a love of learning and assuring a solid grounding in the basics of education that will help them achieve their potential and prepare them for secondary and higher education.

As educators, we provide students with the opportunity to learn, grow, develop, assimilate values, and relate peacefully and respectfully to other people and to the natural world.  We are dedicated to high standards of excellence achieved through a challenging curriculum in a superior facility using current technologies, while being respectful of each child's level of physical, social, emotional and academic abilities.  Students are provided with a nurturing and secure environment that fosters self-discipline, respect and a true love of learning.  Our curriculum follows the Montessori curriculum utilizing the Montessori philosophy and teaching methods and incorporating other teaching methods that complement the Montessori Philosophy.  This philosophy maximizes the manipulative approach to learning.

We will help students learn universal principles of human existence and interaction such as:

  • Respect for one another and our environment
  • Responsibility for one's actions
  • Honesty
  • Fairness
  • Trustworthiness

We strive for continuous improvement in our operations, which are conducted in a financially sound manner that executes the above principles in dealing with staff, customers and suppliers.
