The Montessori Center, a small school serving a maximum of 28 children and their families, was established in 1982. Specializing in an all day program,  the classroom, located in a old Victorian house in the Lincoln Way East historic district of South Bend, takes Montessori back to it's Italian roots. Instead of the more typical classroom setting of one room, Montessori Center children have the freedom to explore 5 rooms, each representing a different curricular area - math, language, cultural subjects, sensorial or practical life.   

The Montessori Center, lead by the teachings and wisdom of Dr. Maria Montessori, strives to implement an authentic “Children’s House”. The Montessori philosophy and method of education is offered to children from a wide range of socio-economic, cultural, and life style backgrounds. A flexible program, maintaining the highest standards of quality, is designed to serve the needs of today’s children and their families.
