Diamante Montessori School is an AMS affiliated Montessori school located in the Glen Ellyn, Illinois area. The school was formed by two parents and an experienced Montessori teacher as a nonprofit organization and was incorporated in July, 2002.

The school was formed in order to provide parents another option for Montessori education for their children in the Glen Ellyn and surrounding communities. With minimal investigation, we quickly discovered that there was a large unfulfilled demand for quality preschool Montessori education. Our hope is that Diamante will help close that gap in our community and give parents another option for preschool education.

Our Philosphy

• Hire the best teachers and treat them exceptionally well
• Provide a healthy, clean environment in which the teachers and children are happy and can grow.
• Communicate, educate and gain involvment of parents

In our opinion, these three items are essential for a successful Montessori educational environment.

What Parents Are Saying....

My children love their class and have progressed so well this year. I just wanted to thank you both. My son is already talking about how come he doesn't have school in the summer. He wakes up Fri-Sun and asks if he has school, when I tell him no, he is sad...I wanted you to know how much they enjoy being in the class! - Tomi Taggart

Wow! What an amazing job you and your staff did today. I've been part of 3 different Montessori schools, and what you did today really went above and beyond anything I've ever seen. Just wanted to let you know that, on behalf of all Diamante moms, the photos taken, put together on a DVD (including music!) and also put together in a book was an amazing amount of work and VERY impressive. More importantly, the kids showed so much pride, as well, which is a direct reflection of their teachers. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. - Karen Halkyard, Regarding Diamante's Mother's Day Celebration

Thanks for all of the work you and your team did to build our kids up and to engage their minds and help make this happen. They had such a great foundation for learning. From the Destination Imagination Team: "Despite being some of the youngest thinkers and problem solvers of the day, this team dropped the jaws of the Appraisers with their teamwork. They had a constant interchange of ideas, and collaborated on all of the designs. You have a great future in the world of DI." - Deborah DuVair, Diamante Alumni whose 2 children won a special award for DI Spirit in 2011

About Our Name

Diamante is Italian for diamond, which represents not only the high value of a good education but the value we have for our children. Every child is unique as every diamond is by cut, color and size, while both are resilient and contain a great potential to be brought out with the proper direction and refinement. A child's educational and life experiences at an early age are as enduring as a diamond.
