Building the foundation for a lifetime of creative learning. Are you ready to inspire your child? Quad City Montessori School (QCMS) is dedicated to providing high-quality, private education based on the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori, Italy’s first female physician. The aim of QCMS education is to foster competent, responsible, adaptive citizens who are lifelong learners and problem solvers. Our program nurtures each child with the ideals of respect and caring attitudes for oneself, others, the environment, and all life are equally necessary. We believe the principle of freedom within limits guides independent learning. We expect each person in our Montessori community to accept that freedom with due responsibility and respect. We value the contributions of our students, teachers, administrators, parents, and Board of Directors. Together, we will continue to provide a high quality, safe, nurturing Montessori environment.
