About Our School
The House of Children partnered with Maria Montessori Academy in 2019 to provide a tuition-based early childhood program for students aged 3-5. The instructors are Montessori certified and have UTAH State Teaching Licenses.
Maria Montessori Academy, opening in 2010, was built upon the educational legacy of Dr. Maria Montessori, who believed that all children are uniquely intelligent.
The Montessori Method focuses on the whole child and facilitating the development of the child’s independence and sense of personal empowerment.
