Welcome to Our School

Welcome to Aurora Montessori School in Aurora, IL. My name is Lisa and I am the Head of School. I have been with AMS since 2000, initially serving as a Montessori Certified Primary teacher and later assisting to develop our current Stepping Stones Toddler program. Our school first opened in 1999 - thousands of children have graduated from the program and after 19 years, we are proud to continue to offer an authentic Montessori education for the youngest friends in the Aurora/Naperville community!

We offer programs for children ages 18 months through Kindergarten. Montessori-certified teachers observe and offer guidance while children build their cognitive and creative abilities. We are also members of the American Montessori Society and the Association of Illinois Montessori Schools.

Our closely-knit classrooms are supported by extended families of our students and alumni. The school calendar includes frequent opportunities for family involvement such as our fall festival, science fair, Donuts with Dad and Muffins with Mom.

Our school recently had a new outdoor environment installed and our STEAM Studio (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math) continues to be a favorite place students to visit each day! The STEAM Studio has been outfitted with tools to offer wider and deeper academic exploration.

Please call to schedule and tour! We’d love to have your child join us at Aurora Montessori School for a journey of learning through discovery!

AMS is a lovely school with a warm, friendly and caring staff. The teachers are accomplished professions who really love what they do and foster a love of learning. The director and assistant directors strive to provide the highest quality experience in the most nurturing atmosphere. I would not want my child anywhere but AMS.
