Our Story

The Palm Valley Montessori School opened it's doors in September of 2008. The curriculum is genuine Montessori. I had a true Montessori experience for my preschool education and that's what I want for my children and my students.
Taking this project from a daydream to a reality has been an exercise in patience, sacrifice, and perseverance. I thought many, many times about throwing up my hands and calling it quits. I just couldn't bear to do it though. My belief in the philosophy is too strong. I have seen the power this method has on the development of young children. I know that the power to change the world lies in our ability to educate the child. I know that Palm Valley Montessori School has the potential to be a positive force in the lives of our children, our families, and our larger community.
I hope you will join us on this journey.
