Our History
The school was formed by a group of parents in 1986 to provide an educational environment based on the philosophy and methods of Dr. Maria Montessori. The school shared space with Eagle Mount, a local non-profit that provides recreational opportunities for people with disabilities and young people with cancer.
In 2002, the school moved to the Springhill building with two early childhood classrooms serving ages 3-6. In 2017, we expanded to our Foothills campus, which is now the home of our toddler program.

Springhill Location
Our main location at the Springhill campus includes Montana’s first yurt classroom, three outdoor classrooms, a traditional playground and a natural playground.
The 1.6-acre Great Beginnings Montessori campus is located in Bozeman’s Riverside community suburbs and includes a school building and a yurt. Our licensed facilities and outdoor space support our early-childhood preschool and kindergarten classrooms for ages 3-6.
Foothills Location
Our Foothills classroom shares space within the Foothills Fellowship church, one mile north of the Springhill campus.
The little log cabin boats a large classroom, a spacious kitchen, and huge, open fields for our children to play. The facility is space for our licensed toddler program, ages 2-3.
