Welcome to Our School
Welcome to Aurora Montessori School in Aurora, IL!
Since opening our doors in 1999, we have proudly served thousands of children from the Aurora, Naperville, and surrounding communities. After celebrating our 25th anniversary in 2024, we remain committed to providing a premier, authentic Montessori experience, along with exceptional before- and after-school care for our students.
We offer programs for children ages 18 months through Kindergarten. Our Montessori-certified teachers thoughtfully observe and guide each child as they develop cognitive, social, and creative skills. We are also proud members of the Association of Illinois Montessori Schools.
Our beautiful STEAM Studio—featuring Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math—is a favorite among students. This dedicated space is equipped with tools that encourage deeper exploration, creativity, and hands-on learning.
We’re pleased to offer families access to secure, real-time classroom viewing, as well as Montessori Compass, our online communication platform that keeps parents connected with daily updates and teacher communication.
We invite you to schedule a tour and see our school in action. We would love for your child to join us at Aurora Montessori School and begin a lifelong journey of learning through discovery!

I was lucky enough to discover the Montessori method while in high school by working with the after-school program. I have a passion for teaching and learning, and truly believe the Montessori classroom offers a warm and enriching environment for children to develop. I live in Yorkville with my husband and daughter, Josie - a current Aurora Montessori School student!
