About Mansio Montessori

Mansio Montessori of Geneva has been educating children in the Fox Valley community since 1981 and has had the privilege of being like a second home to hundreds of students during their preschool and kindergarten years. Nestled in a residential neighborhood, one block from the scenic Fox River, Mansio Montessori of Geneva is located in a renovated 3,000 square foot residence, which is home to five classrooms.


Our programs start as early as 15 months and go through kindergarten. During these crucial early years at Mansio, our students gain not just essential skills for their future educational journey such as reading, writing, and math, but foundational life skills such as critical thinking and problem solving by exploring their environment through hands-on learning. With a warm, caring environment and independent active learning, students naturally build self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-reliance and resilience that they carry with them throughout their lives.

Implementing the Montessori Method

The methods we implement at Mansio are unique, deeply contrasting those of the traditional schooling system. Especially in a child’s early education, we understand the importance of recognizing strengths and weaknesses, and we develop individualized plans and educational experiences based on each student.


To do so, we focus on a child-centered learning environment in lieu of a standardized, curriculum-paced one. Graduates from our program thrive in reading, math, development, and maturation, promoting self-regulation and social consciousness.


We want to be different than traditional schooling – we invest in children beyond their ability to fill in bubbles and pass standardized tests. Within our multi-age classrooms, we believe there are unique learning opportunities to be found through socialization and children teaching other children in hands-on, play-focused education.

Mansio Montessori: Teaching the Montessori Preschool Method Since 1981

At Mansio Montessori, we have been committed to these Montessori principles, investing in the Elburn community and families since 1981. Our Montessori preschool program values the individual learning style and pace of each child. For parents who prioritize the same principles, we invite you to learn more about our approach and available Montessori preschool programs.


We desire to inspire a passion for learning within each child that they can carry with them as they grow and mature throughout their academic careers. The preschool ages are a prime time to begin formulating habits they can carry with them into healthy, balanced adulthood.
