Mission/Vision

Mosaic Montessori Academy believes that nurturing the child in the Montessori tradition is the path to success in life and academic skills. As Maria Montessori reminds us, “Education is an aid to life”.

Mosaic Montessori Academy (MMA) was the vision of two women educators who possessed the passion to utilize their knowledge and experience as Montessori teachers in providing the community with a quality and nurturing early childhood educational program, anchored by the fundamentals of the Montessori philosophy and methodology.

History

MMA opened its doors in the Village of River Forest, Illinois on September 2007, with one primary classroom of children, three to six years of age. It immediately experienced growth that same year, even offering its first summer program also within said year. A Parent-Infant Program opened in the School Year (SY) 2008-2009 to meet the needs of some parents who were seeking this type of program for their very young children. A Toddler Program, serving two to three year old children, was put in place for the SY2009-2010. MMA looks forward to the continued growth of the school in the years ahead as it strives to meet the ever-changing needs of the families in the community.
