Our History

Montessori arrived in Midland in 1970 when a group of interested parents formed the Saginaw Valley Montessori Association. The name was later changed to Midland Montessori School, Inc., to better reflect the commitment to the community. The school opened in 1971 in rented facilities and operated in several rented locations before finding a place of it's own.

A major objective of the Montessori organization from it's beginning had been to secure a permanent location for the school. During the first eight years of the program a building fund was accumulated from donations and fund-raising activities. In early 1979, the decision was made to construct a building on property owned by the school on Eastman Ave. The school began operating in the new building on October 8, 1979

  • "As a place for learning and self discovery, MMS has taught our children how to interact with the world around them and discover the potential of their abilities. It's amazing to see how they are growing up into little people and MMS has been there with us along the way."

    MMS Parent

  • “Prior to enrolling our child at Midland Montessori School, I visited many preschools/childcare facilities and inquired about their programs. What impressed me the most about Midland Montessori School was the layout of the facility and the cleanliness of the rooms. The staff was open; there were no questions they couldn’t answer. The teachers were wonderful, which made the transition easy for our whole family."
