"whoever touches the life of the child touches the most sensitive point of a whole, which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future."Dr. Maria Montessori.
Here at the Montessori Learning Center of Edison Park we offer early childhood education using the Montessori Philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. We have two classrooms designed for maximum comfort and educational benefit: one classroom for ages 2 through 3 and the other for ages 3 though 6. We have designed an enriched environment in which your child can exceed and gain a fulfilling education. It is our goal and responsibility to provide your child with the necessary tools to exceed in life.
History of Director
Soossan Nimrouzi, mother of three daughters as well as a wife. She received her bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technology from Truman State University in Missouri. She was introduced to the Montessori Method of Education by her niece and nephews who were attending a Montessori school at the time. She enjoyed her experience with the Montessori Method and became interested in teaching it. She began studying Montessori Education so that she could change her career and become a Montessori teacher. She received her Montessori Teaching Certification from Midwest Montessori Teacher Training Center in Evanston, IL. For the past sixteen years she has been teaching and directing in multiple Montessori schools in Chicago and the suburban area. In the past ten years of her career she has been teaching and supervising student teachers who are going to become Montessori educators.
One of her goals since becoming a Montessori educator has been to start a school of her own. She opened the Montessori Learning Center of Edison Park in hopes that she could satisfy the need to create a school where quality education is given in the city where she lives.
