Greetings Montessori Families!

If you are a returning family, welcome back! If you are joining us for the first time this year, welcome to our Montessori community! We are looking forward to a wonderful school year, and can’t wait to see all of our students back in their classrooms. 

Here at JPS Montessori, we are proud to offer students an educational environment that promotes individualized learning, respects working at your own pace, nurtures children’s innate desire to learn new things, and fosters a lifelong love of learning. Our academic curriculum aligns with Michigan state standards and frameworks, with an additional emphasis on social-emotional learning and 21st century skills. We strongly believe in the Montessori principle of educating the whole child.

At the school, learning is an exciting process of discovery that leads to self-discipline, concentration, and intrinsic motivation. In the classroom there is constant interaction, problem solving, peer teaching, and socialization. Children are challenged according to their ability, and are never bored. Our students look forward to coming to school each day!

We are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Choat and Mrs. Fairbanks back to our teaching staff! Mrs. Choat will be teaching kindergarten, and Mrs. Fairbanks will teach first grade. They are both phenomenal teachers, and we couldn’t be happier to have them back in our Montessori family. 

Students will again have STEAM and PE specials on alternating days, in addition to their daily Spanish enrichment with Rocio Baird. This, along with their Montessori work in the classrooms, will provide our students with a rich, full, and varied learning experience this year that will ensure that they reach their fullest potential. 

We here at JPS Montessori are eagerly looking forward to the first day of school, and working with all of our amazing students again! We are grateful for all our Montessori families, and know that this is going to be a great school year!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call the school at 517-841-3897, or you can call me directly at 517-841-2772.

We’ll see you soon!
