A Passion for Montessori Early Childhood Education

AB Montessori was founded by Anu with a single vision: to create a childcare environment that truly feels like a second home — warm, joyful, and deeply intentional about every child's growth.

Anu brings over two decades of experience in early childhood education, combining a Montessori philosophy with a genuine love for nurturing young minds. She completed her AMI Montessori training in Cleveland, OH. After many years of working in private schools in Michigan and Massachusetts, she recognized the need for a smaller, more personalized childcare experience where every child receives individual attention and care.

Her approach is rooted in respect for the child — honoring each child's unique pace, interests, and learning style. She believes that the earliest years are the most formative, and that the right environment can spark a lifelong love of learning.

"The child must learn by his own individual activity...and not to be questioned in his choice. Our teaching must only answer the mental needs of the child, never dictate them. He must have absolute freedom of choice, and then he requires nothing but repeated experiences." — Dr. Maria Montessori, To Educate the Human Potential, 1948
