The Best Way to Discover Montessori? See It for Yourself

Montessori education is different — and the best way to understand how it benefits your child is to see it in action. At Montessori of Woodridge, we welcome families to visit our school, explore our classrooms, and observe our peaceful, purposeful environment.



Our tours are private, one-on-one appointments led by a member of our administrative or faculty team. We walk you through our facilities, explain our programs by age group, and answer all your questions.


This is your opportunity to learn about our values, our teaching methods, and what makes our school community unique.

What to Expect During the Tour

Tours are scheduled Monday through Friday during school hours, by appointment only. To protect the classroom experience and children’s privacy, we do not offer drop-in visits.


Each tour lasts approximately 30–45 minutes. You will be accompanied by a member of our team and introduced to lead teachers if time and classroom activity allow.


We recommend that at least one parent or guardian attends the tour, and that you bring any specific questions you’d like answered — whether about tuition, scheduling, program details, or Montessori methodology.


While your child is welcome to visit with you, most families choose to come alone initially and schedule a second visit with their child if needed.
