Children's House Montessori School is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization devoted to the educational, social, emotional and physical well being of children.
We have been serving the community of whitefish since 1983.
The Montessori Method is a philosophy based on the way a child learns at different ages, and the rationale to assist that learning.
The essence of this philosophy is focusing on the child.
Together we accomplish this through a dedicated, trained staff, a prepared environment, and committed families.
