Primary and Elementary teachers at Montessori Unlimited receive MACTE-accredited training (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education). Each teacher creates their own classroom and lesson guide, ensuring unique classroom experiences.
Having always known education was my true passion, I followed my heart and first joined Aurora Montessori School as a primary teacher. Currently, I am honored to lead a wonderful, dedicated staff that help make our school a very special place! My husband and I, proud parents of two AMS graduates, live in Aurora with our beautiful Golden Retriever, Bear!
Qualified, experienced, highly trained daycare teachers nurture your child and inspire a love of learning. Our teacher-to-child ratio is thoughtfully defined to ensure each child feels safe, seen, and loved.
Qualifications and Standards
From infants to school-age, our age-appropriate programs nurture your child's academic, social, and emotional growth every step of the way. Every day, children experience plenty of outdoor playtime, while a healthy breakfast, lunch, and plenty of snacks are served.
As children mature, they see practical life exercises that adults find commonplace as interesting and extraordinary, such as sorting, pouring, and washing dishes. Because control and coordination of mind and body is still developing, the Montessori Method includes tangible experiences with concrete materials used to learn math, movable alphabets to explore language, and cubes, cylinders, and other shapes to categorize, find spatial relationships, and more.
Goal! In this program, your child develops early soccer skills and learns about teamwork spending time on the field with friends.
Focus, breathe, go! In this program, your child learns foundational martial arts movements while building discipline, respect, and self-confidence.
Families trust us to care for, nurture, and support their children during these important early years. Let them tell you why.
We love AMS. We suggest the school to other friends who has small kids. They learn practical life skills, coginitive skills. The teachers and administration are highly skilled and professional. They play key roles in shaping the kids’ interests and skills.
I absolutely love the school, the admin and the teachers. The only thing I would change is the ability for my kids to attend beyond Kindergarten.
We love this school and our daughter does as well. We can't say enough about the director, administrative staff and teachers; they're all wonderful! We will (and have) highly recommended this school to our friends.
Great achool, great staff! I wouldn’t change it for anything! My daughter loves it!
I am so happy with our decision to join the Aurora Montessori family. This school fosters my children's natural curiosities for learning and they always enjoy seeing their teachers and friends each day.
My child is happy to go every day and is happy when I pick her up. That speaks volumes. She looks forward to school and it makes me feel good as a working parent that my child is thriving. Thank you to everyone for peace of mind that I have knowing that Mila loves her school!

At Aurora Montessori School, we ask you to keep your child home if they aren't feeling well. If your child develops symptoms of illness during the day, we will separate them from the other children so they can rest comfortably while being monitored by a staff member. We will also contact you to arrange pickup. For the health and well-being of your child and others, your child must remain home until they have been free of symptoms for at least 24 hours or their physician provides written clearance indicating they can return to school.

If your child has a food allergy or dietary restriction, we’ll work with your family to understand their needs and develop an appropriate plan.
Starting somewhere new is a big step, and Aurora Montessori School helps your child adjust with a welcoming classroom, caring teachers, and consistent daily routines. We take time to understand your child's personality, interests, and individual needs while gently introducing them to classmates and Montessori activities. We encourage families to share any questions or concerns with our teachers so we can help make the transition a positive and comfortable experience.
