Love working with children, but need a change? Montessori is a beautiful approach to education.

The Julia Brown Schools were founded in 1967 by Charles and Julia Brown. We have over 50 years of experience educating the children using the Montessori method of education. We currently serve children ages 15 months to 9 years old. Our environment is calm and peaceful.

Montessori is a system of education for young children that seeks to develop natural interests and activities rather than use formal traditional teaching methods. Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, developed this unique method of learning in 1907. If you are interested in the Montessori method, there is room for growth at our schools. We prefer to promote from within.
