Montessori Casa dei Bambini was established in 2005, with a school in Chantilly, VA. Casa dei Bambini means House of Children in Italian; named after the first Montessori school opened by Maria Montessori in Rome, Italy. Montessori of Chantilly is a Full Member school of American Montessori Society. Our Gainesville location is now open, with a 10,000 square feet building on a 2 acre wooded lot in the Saranac neighborhood, off Glenkirk Road. It is across from Glenkirk Elementary School. Montessori of Gainesville offers a Montessori Pre-Primary program for children ages 20 months to 3 years, and a Primary program for children ages 3 years to 6 years.

We offer a full day Kindergarten program for children that have attended a Montessori program in their pre-school years. Every class has at least one AMI or AMS Montessori certified teacher. Yoga, Spanish and Music classes are part of the standard curriculum. Children experience the outdoors with a gardening area for each class.

Montessori of Gainesville also offers Before and After-school care for children that attend Glenkirk Elementary School.
