Our story
A learning community for every family
We opened Amazing Beginnings Montessori in Inver Grove Heights in 2006 and Eagan Montessori Academy South in 2016. Our families come from many cultures and backgrounds, so children learn to work in diverse settings.
We believe children learn at their own pace, so we offer many ways to learn.
Since 2006
