Prairie View Montessori's primary mission is to serve children by offering interactive, dynamic learning environments, which meet their cognitive, physical, social and emotional needs.
We seek to work in partnership with families to form a base of support for each child's success.
Dr. Montessori's method is the foundation of our approach. We also support the view that education is not about memorizing answers, but about devising questions and developing the courage to take risks and stand by what you believe.
Our goal is that all children leave Prairie View as confident, excited learners who think for themselves and respect the people and environment around them.
