West Side Montessori is a family-oriented educational community engaging and inspiring children to discover their potential within an environment promoting mutual respect, social responsibility, natural curiosity, and a love of learning. West Side Montessori campuses are located in Toledo and Perrysburg, Ohio and is one of only five accredited Montessori schools in the state of Ohio. West Side Montessori provides highly organized classroom learning environments that give children countless opportunities to move, make choices, and take charge of their own learning. For example, very young children are sorting and categorizing their world and are very sensitive to order in their lives. The Montessori classroom environment and materials are designed to aid the young child in the development of his or her sense of order. Montessori philosophy and curriculum promote an understanding and appreciation for the interconnectedness of all that exists and a consequent social policy that teaches we are stewards of the earth. Social outreach and community improvement service projects are an integral part of our curriculum. Cooperation and collaboration are cornerstones of the Montessori learning environment. Students work together, learn from one another, and support each other in a non-competitive atmosphere.

Dr. Maria Montessori, engineer, physician, and educator, developed a new way of teaching young children by observing their behaviors, at the early part of the 20th century. The methodology is based on a deep respect for the child who in turn, shows respect for himself, others, and his environment. We honor where the child is and help them get to the next step. Southwest Montessori Academy opened in 2013 with a total of eight students and three staff members. We have reached our maximum enrollment of 40 students, have 7 staff members and have built a community of parents and teachers who are excited about working together to serve our students! We have a passion for helping children reach their full potential and foster their love of learning. Our Primary program is for children ages three to six years old (preschool through Kindergarten) working and learning together in the same classroom. We provide each student a personalized learning experience in an environment that is not only beautiful, but ready for each student to become independent, confident, compassionate and engaged learners. Our teachers have all received a Montessori credential from accredited teacher training centers and are passionate about guiding children to be contributing members of our community. We also offer Parent Education courses such as “Parenting the Positive Discipline Way”, “Math, the Montessori Way”, “Montessori At Home”, and many more opportunities for the whole family in order to build a strong family-school partnership in order to best serve the needs of each student. We bring families together for social events and we have built an incredible community at Southwest Montessori Academy that the pages of our website can only begin to capture.
