Our mission is to prepare children for life.


We celebrate each child’s individuality and help them discover how they can best contribute to our world and culture. All children are naturally curious and love to learn; we support this innate drive by providing environments that meet children’s developmental needs, by having a consistent staff of loving and highly educated teachers, and by building a community of families that actively support our mission.

Why do so many families choose Wheaton Montessori?

Lessons are designed and given to each child when they are most ready to learn, which keeps everyone challenged.

Social, emotional, and physical development is emphasized along with and through academic skills.

Freedom to move and choose activities and socialize within our unique structure fosters independence and self-confidence.

Current neuroscience and human development research consistently backs authentic, high-fidelity Montessori.

Our Engaging Summer
By Rebecca Lingo March 31, 2025
Discuss children’s needs and developmental phases during the summer months and how Wheaton Montessori School summer camps meet these needs while supporting growth.
By Rebecca Lingo March 25, 2025
Kelly Jonelis, our Adolescent Community Director and highly specialized teacher, earned her AMI Montessori Adolescent Teaching Diploma over the past year and a half. After completing an intensive graduate-level program, Kelly received her diploma, which qualifies her to teach adolescents from 12 to 18 years of age. As a student in training, Kelly participated in a dynamic process of examining other schools and our own Adolescent Community’s program, class community relationships, teen developmental needs, and a profound level of adult self-reflection as preparation for working with young adults.  We are thrilled that Kelly Jonelis continues to implement strategies that strengthen our Adolescent Community to foster the development of capable and adaptable young people who achieve academic excellence through experiential learning and enter the world as confident young adults. Join us in celebrating Kelly with this amazing accomplishment and the positive impact she will continue to have on our Adolescent Community and their families.
