Our History

Global Children Montessori School is a small, private Montessori School with one classroom, serving children, approximately of age three to six years. We opened in March of 2003, as a Family Day Care with one child. We grew gradually and because of huge need from the community, we moved into a Community building in April 2005. Mrs. Padma Venkatraman is the owner and the head teacher of the school.
