Santa Barbara Montessori

The main objective of the Santa Barbara Montessori School is to provide a carefully planned, stimulating environment. This will help the children develop within themselves the foundational habits, attitudes, skills, and ideas which are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning. AMI was founded in 1929 by Dr. Maria Montessori with the intention of serving two purposes: First, to further her life’s work in its original integrity and completeness; and second, to guide its development and application in the interests of all children.
