Established in 1973, Chico Montessori Children's House has given more than 3,000 preschool students a bright start to their education and in life. Twenty five years ago, the school began with a class of preschool students in a classroom leased from Bidwell Presbyterian Church. The program soon began to take root in the community and grow.
An afternoon class was added in 1981, and--in 1985--the school expanded again to offer four classes: two in the morning and two in the afternoon; this is the current schedule still offered today. In 1992, the school's growing student enrollment made it necessary to find a permanent site for the school, and the property at 814 Glenn Street--the former Chico Arts Center--was acquired and renovated.
