About
The Kankakee Valley Montessori School was established in March 1968 as a private, not-for-profit preschool. The school is a member of the American Montessori Society, New York and serves children from the ages of 2 to 12 years. The development of self-confidence, independence, concentration and love of learning in a carefully prepared environment is emphasized. The program is based on the educational method developed over a century ago by Dr. Maria Montessori.
The emotional and social development of the child is an important part of the school. We seek to create a warm, loving, and respectful atmosphere. Emphasis is placed on helping children express feelings in constructive ways to develop social skills and a sense of responsibility for their own behavior within the school community. A philosophy of "freedom within limits" provides the basic framework for the children's interaction with the environment and each other.
