Children's House of Miss Tammie was established in august 2006 by Tammie Jean Crutcher.
Miss Tammie believes that the montessori method of education provides the most effective and fulfilling way to guide a child through his/her early school years.
This is a critical period for learning and setting patterns which will last a lifetime.
Our goals is to provide a montessori enrichment program, and to provide a non institutional environment for children requiring full or part time education.
Our class of about twenty children is taught by a certified montessori teacher who is also certified in American sign language as well as the development of special needs children.
