About MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MONTESSORI SCHOOL INC
Mississippi Valley Montessori School Inc (MVMS) is a nonprofit, AMI-affiliated Montessori preschool and kindergarten serving children approximately 33 months to 6 years in West St. Paul, Minnesota. Founded in 1967, the school is run by a volunteer board and emphasizes child-led, mixed-age classrooms guided by AMI-trained educators.
MVMS remains an operating, donor-facing nonprofit with an active web presence and recent public activity: its most recently filed Form 990 (fiscal year ending June 2025) reported program-service-driven revenues and showed continued operation despite a net deficit for that fiscal year. The school has an active Minnesota child care license (license number 801568) and engaged in local community sponsorships during 2025–2026.
The school appealed a Minnesota Department of Human Services Determination of Maltreatment and Order to Pay Fine dated September 27, 2024; an Administrative Law Judge denied the school's motion for summary disposition on May 7, 2025, and the matter proceeded to further proceedings. As of the latest public licensing record, the school’s DHS license status is listed as active (last renewed/updated January 1, 2026).
