Montessori Children's House

Montessori Children’s House has served the children and families of the Des Moines area for more than 50 years. Founded in the fall of 1968 by Dora and George Fowler, the school began with approximately 40 students and two classrooms. Montessori Children’s House is dedicated to providing a high-quality, private education based on the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori, instilling a desire for life-long learning and developing respectful, responsible and self-reliant individuals. Please consider a donation to support Montessori Children's House via Greater Des Moines Montessori Association!

These openings would be in the before and after care program and the lunch program. You may work in one or all three positions. Please call the school, 225-1073, for more information.
