Our Mission . . . .
Petoskey Montessori Children's House and and Elementary School (PMCH/PMES) is committed to the learning philosophy founded by Maria Montessori.  Our aim is to provide thoughtful guidance in a carefully prepared environment so that our children may develop concentration, a sense of order, sociability, self-discipline, and a love of work.  The Montessori environment serves as an aid to the development of our children as happy, independent, responsible, and loving individuals.

PMCH/PMES welcomes students of any race, gender, religion, national or ethnic origin.

There is ... in every child a painstaking teacher, so skillful that he obtains identical results in all children in all parts of the world. The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!"          Dr. Maria Montessori
