About Us

Countryside Montessori School was founded originally in 1998 in Manhasset, NY. Our school began with one primary classroom of 7 children. We quickly grew out of our site in Manhasset and moved to a beautiful location in Great Neck in 2001. 10 years later we have grown to two primary classrooms and two toddler classrooms.

We were founded with the aim of providing a high quality early childhood education based upon the philosophy, methods and techniques developed 100 years ago by educational pioneer and Nobel Prize nominee Dr. Maria Montessori.

We are a full affiliate of the American Montessori Society (AMS). We are a registered school with the New York State Department of Education.
