Welcome to MCHS!

In 1976, a group of parents, wanting a different education for their pre-school children, decided to open a Montessori school. Since that day, Montessori Children's House of Southbridge (MCHS) has successfully educated over 1000 children, between the ages of 2.9 and 6, in the tri-community area. Located just 30 minutes south of Worcester, MA and less than one hour northeast of Hartford, CT., MCHS is a non-profit organization with an active Board of Trustees comprised of both parents and community members. We are also an affiliate of the American Montessori Society.

Montessori Children's House of Southbridge (MCHS) strives to create an environment where academic excellence can be achieved within a community that promotes creativity and responsibility. In the Montessori tradition, MCHS seeks to help each child discover their joy in learning as well as their place in the greater society. By strengthening the bonds between the parents, children and staff of MCHS, the sense of family will become a stable base from which each child can explore themselves, their community and the world.
