About JONATHAN MONTESSORI HOUSE OF CHILDREN INC

Jonathan Montessori House of Children, doing business as Jonathan Montessori School (JMS), is a nonprofit early‑childhood Montessori school in Chaska, Minnesota serving children roughly 16 months through kindergarten. The school operates as a private 501(c)(3) corporation governed by a parent-and-staff Board of Directors and emphasizes authentic Montessori classroom environments staffed by Montessori-certified guides.

In recent filing years JMS has continued regular operations and enrollment: in the 2023–2024 period the school served on the order of 70–75 children and reported approximately $1.13M in revenue with comparable expenses (FY2024). JMS maintains owned facilities on Hundertmark Road (the former St. Andrew’s Church campus purchased in 2011) and runs an annual giving campaign (“Together We Grow”) to help close the gap between tuition and the full cost of its Montessori program.

The organization holds required Minnesota child-care licensing for its programs and presents itself publicly as a long-standing community institution (founded in 1971) focused on whole-child development, independence, and classroom environments delivered by Montessori-trained staff.
