About Us

As an experienced Association of Montessori International (AMI) trained Director, I Mona Ahuja is extremely happy to be a part of this wonderful MMC family. I gracefully accepted Mr. Shatomi Kerbway (prior owner's) offer in November 2017. I am excited to continue the tradition and values which were incepted in 1981 by Senior Kerbway and is being continued till date. I am so honored to have the most experienced staff and valuable parents, whose future young citizens are being nurtured.

​I was a primary AMI Certified teacher when I started my career in Bangalore, India and continued the same in Salinas, California . I then worked on, continuing education of being a director and learned quite a bit during the AMI conference's and broadened my horizons of Montessori Education. State moving and career changing did not stop me in the field of education. I opened and operated a Hindi Language School in Ellicott City, Maryland. In addition, I continued my association with Education and Montessori learning by keeping in frequent touch with respected Montessorians. ​

This association with MMC has brought me closer to my passion as a Director which I am right now living it and thoroughly enjoying it to the core. I will be happy to serve you the best of my abilities in upcoming years. I promise to uphold the foundation of Montessori education by flourishing to each and every individual.

Sincerely, ​

Mrs. Mona Ahuja
Head of School

Our Philosophy

At The Maria Montessori Center we believe every child is a unique individual worthy of our respect, and guided through affirmative nurturing. Our goal is to help children develop personal confidence and valuable self-esteem in a warm and supportive environment. As citizens of a global world, our students are taught to honor the rights and privileges of others, while celebrating and embracing diversity in all people. We also believe our Earth and ecosystem require our care. Toward this end, children are taught to be good stewards of nature in all its forms. Promoting dignity and fostering independence in children is the most important responsibility we have. We encourage close interaction between parents, teachers and administration, working together as a team in our family-centered school community.

The Maria Montessori Center is a Proud Member of the Greater Farmington Area Chamber of Commerce.
