History
The school was founded in New Rochelle in 1972 by Musya "Amalie" Meyer (1924–2014), an educator in the American Montessori movement.[1] Meyer served as Vice President of Teacher Development on the board of the American Montessori Society and co-authored the book Celebrations of Life with Tim Seldin.[2]
In 1995, the school opened a second campus in Danbury to serve families in Fairfield County. This expansion was led by Mark Meyer, Musya Meyer's son.[3][4]
