The Juneau Montessori School (JMS) has been enriching the lives of Juneau families since 1985. We are a private, tuition-based non-profit school with a board of directors. Our school offers toddler to kindergarten programs serving children 16 months to 6 years of age. We employ the philosophy and teaching methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952). JMS is a recognized school of the Association Montessori International and an Alaska State Licensed childcare facility.
