About Us
“Education demands, then, only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction.”
- Maria Montessori
Our school, formerly Glenridge Montessori, was originally founded in 1981 in Erie, PA and was simply called “The Children's House”. In 2004 the school moved to its current location in Summit Township of Erie where it is now known as Montessori in the Woods.
In keeping with the traditions of the proven Montessori method, Montessori in the Woods provides a structured, challenging, and nurturing environment where children are given the tools to succeed in life. In addition, our unique campus, with over 12 acres of land, allows students access to a wonderful outdoor curriculum. We currently offer programs for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarten and elementary students, with all-day Montessori childcare available for all age levels.
Montessori in the Woods is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare.
