My son has been attending Bernie’s Montessori school downtown for over a year. I am sad to see him leave such a great school. The teachers were great the entire time preparing him for kindergarten. Thanks to Miss Emily for everything! This school has went above and beyond, even with COVID-19 I have always felt my son was in great hands. Thank you Bernie’s!

My daughter went to Bernie's for two years and my son went for three. My son came home today chanting "I love Bernie's!" over and over again, so I think it's about time I write a review. Miss Judy and the rest of the teachers are a well balanced combination of supportive and demanding. They set high expectations for the kids, but help the kids meet those expectations with love and support. Academically, both of my kids thrived at Bernie's. My son is going to be entering kindergarten this fall and is already devouring chapter books by himself. Bernie's deserves credit for teaching him to read and teaching him to love reading. We love Bernie's!

Wonderful place for your kid. Great if you work in Downtown. The staff is very professional and dedicated and the director is wonderful. It is a well hidden jewel in the middle of Minneapolis. Our daughter is always happy to play with her friends there.

Education at Bernie's Montessori

At Bernie's Montessori, we strongly believe all children are born with a desire to learn. The first lessons of life are received in the security of the family environment. As they grow older, their environment widens and further development takes place. Bernie's Montessori provides an excellent environment for them to explore and learn.

PRESCHOOL

We help children in this critical period develop a lifelong love of learning by providing a rich environment with prepared educational materials and caring teachers. Within our Montessori classroom, children are allowed as much freedom as possible to progress at their own pace under guidance of a teacher who is specially trained to unfold each child's potential. Most importantly, we make learning fun!

TODDLER

The toddler program is open to children 16 to 33 months. The activities in the toddler room are designed to lengthen a child's attention span, to increase the vocabulary, and to develop a sense of independence and responsibility. These activities also develop large and small muscle skills. Music, story time, arts and crafts, individual and group games are included in these activities.

OUR FACILITY

Our school is conveniently located near Washington and 2nd Ave in downtown Minneapolis. We have a beautiful large fenced in playground shaded with trees for your child to play, explore, make friends, and have fun!

We look forward to meeting you and your child. Contact us for a tour!

"Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment." - Dr. Maria Montessori
