Southwest Suburban Montessori School 8800 West 119th Street Palos Park (708)448-5332

Southwest Suburban Montessori School opened its doors for the first time to a handful of children in 1970. As the years have passed, we have occupied five different sites before finally settling into our present home: a quaint schoolhouse nestled in the woodlands of Palos Park. We offer programs for Toddlers (ages 2 and 3), Pre-School (ages 3 to 5) and Kindergarten/Extended Day (ages 5 and 6). Our curriculum follows the principles of Doctor Maria Montessori: a physician, philosopher, educator, innovator and the founder of the Montessori child development method. These include: Respecting each child and his ability to learn Taking advantage of the child�s absorbent mind and sensitive periods Allowing children freedom within the prepared environment Tapping into each child�s innate love of work
