About Ampersand Schoolhouse

Ampersand Schoolhouse uniquely offers an organic setting, which embraces the true Montessori vision, including nature and all the beauty and inspiration that it provides.  At Ampersand Schoolhouse, the education, confidence, and development of each child is paramount.  Our vision is to ensure a comfortable, home-like classroom and environment for each student. Our school house is located in a beautiful wooded cabin situated within 2.5-acres of wooded land in St. Charles, IL and contains an open-concept classroom with an abundance of natural light.  Additionally a large outdoor classroom and “outdoor work” areas serve the children for significant parts of each day.

​

Montessori Day School serves children between 2.5 and 6 years of age in an environment thoughtfully designed for the curious child.  We view each child as one who is naturally eager to learn and believe that the adult’s role is to unfold this innate sense of wonder and curiosity while assisting him or her to develop a foundation of confidence within his or her self and community.
