MONTESSORI II
3 – 6+ Years
We would like to introduce you to a very special school: Montessori II.
The West Hills Montessori II program is designed to provide worthwhile services and successful experiences
for handicapped and non-handicapped children within a quality Montessori environment. The three-hour
morning class affords the opportunity for each individual student to establish friendships, build self-confidence
and become more independent as his/her learning skills are developed. The school is dedicated to education
according to Dr. Maria Montessori, the physician-educator, who spent much of her life developing an educational
method to meet the needs of young learners. Each student is respected and encouraged as an individual
with unique capabilities and interests.
Montessori II classes are held in the Garden Home Recreation Center and at the West Hills Christian
Church in the Multnomah area. All classes are staffed by Montessori certified teachers. Experienced
classroom assistants support the teachers. The warm and caring atmosphere created by the classroom
staff provides a positive learning experience of critical significance in the child’s early years.
Our Montessori II program is funded through a combination of tuition, donations, grants and fund-raising
activities. The independent school is a non-profit Oregon corporation and has established a 503 (C)(3)
tax-exempt status. Contributions to the program are tax deductible and may be mailed to:
