Our school formerly Glenridge Montessori was originally founded in 1981 in Erie PA and was simply called The Children’s House. In 2004 the school moved to its current location in Summit Township of Erie where it is now known as Montessori in the Woods.
In keeping with the traditions of the proven Montessori method Montessori in the Woods provides a structured challenging and nurturing environment where children are given the tools to succeed in life. In addition our unique campus with over 12 acres of land allows students access to a wonderful outdoor curriculum. We currently offer programs for toddlers preschoolers kindergarten and elementary students with all-day Montessori childcare available for all age levels.
Montessori in the Woods is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare.

Our goal is to cultivate the childs own natural desire to learn. In a Montessori environment the children develop a positive self-image and a self-motivated approach to learning that will be beneficial for the rest of their lives. As children work in an environment that expects personal responsibility they become more self-disciplined and achieve higher self-esteem. Since 1907 Montessori has been ahead of the curve with enlightened concepts such as math manipulatives sensory experiences cooperative learning languages and cultures and care of the person and environment. Experiences in art music movement and science are also parts of the curriculum.
