Tiny Tots Villa is a not-for-profit center, that has educated children ages 2 to 6 years in the Chatham community on the Southside of Chicago for more than 30 years.
Our teaching staff guides learning using the Montessori method. This approach to education includes a prepared environment with hands-on materials to meet the academic, social, physical, and emotional need of children at each stage of development.
In a partnership between home and school, we aim to foster intellectual growth, independence, responsibility, concentration, coordination, and self-worth.
The result is a dynamic group of children, parents, and staff committed to the natural development of the human spirit within every child.

After searching all over Chicago for a great montessori school I finally found one at Tiny Tots. The school places a lot of emphasis on science and math through hands on learning. I have two children enrolled in Tiny Tots, a 2yr old and a 4yr old. Since they have been at the school they have made exceptional progress. My 2 yr old can say her ABCs and count, and identify letters in her books and my son can tell me about the metamorphosis of the butterfly and name the continents. Tiny Tots is a hidden jewel, I highly recommend it to parents who want the best early childhood education for their children.

A very hidden secret of a fantastic school. Absolutely wonderful school. Definitely gives parent a rest easy feeling of homelike loving environment. Son attended at age 20months, now entering medical school, still returns to give thanks for all!
