About the School

  • Founded in 1962, Manor Montessori was the first Montessori school established in the state of Maryland.
  • It is also one of the few Montessori schools to have constructed its own facility, in Potomac, which was specifically designed for children working in a Montessori environment.
  • The Manor Montessori School provides a warm and nurturing atmosphere for children between the ages of three and nine.
  • At Manor Montessori, we have a wonderful, fun and enriching Summer Day Camp which incorporates the Montessori method of teaching.
  • Our camp teachers combine the use of the Montessori materials with daily arts & crafts projects, as well as fun indoor and outdoor activities.
  • Some of these activities include swimming, tennis, music, cooking, and free-play.
  • Our staff's dedication to the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, along with strict adherence to her principles and practices, has been the reason for our success over a forty year period.
  • Our enrollment and our facilities have both seen steady growth throughout the years.
  • Our staff members regularly attend local and national Montessori workshops.
