Meet Mehjabin and Amit – the proud owners of Montgomery Montessori School
Growing up in India, Mehjabin and Amit both went through the Montessori Education system. They welcomed twin daughters into the world in 2017, and when researching latest educational methods for early childhood they realized that Montessori is still the best possible education that a child can get.
Montessori education helps a child develop independence, a sense of empathy and social justice, and a lifelong love of learning. Realizing the impact Montessori can have on a child, building the confidence and ability a child needs, they decided to expand their learning and vision and provide a way for the community to benefit from the same.
Since taking over the running of the school in mid 2022, Mehjabin and Amit have focused on offering best-in-class Montessori education and a healthy and cheerful learning environment for children in the Montgomery Community
