About the Provider

Description: Norbeck Montessori was established in 1975 by Elizabeth Bissett. She founded this school and worked continuously here as a teacher and Director until her passing in September of 2010. The dream of Norbeck started as a small one classroom concept with approximately 20 children. It has since grown into a large 5-classroom facility with the capacity to teach up to 160 children. Our programs are designed to provide you and your child with a variety of options to meet your individual needs. We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Full-day and partial-day placement is available to children ages 2 to 6 years old.
