The Alfred Montessori School (AMS) recently received $450.00
to help them purchase Montessori “Works” for their classrooms. Judith Rose,
director of the Alfred Montessori School, stated, “These Works provide
activities used to teach the students in subject areas such as language,
mathematics, practical life, and an array of seasonal topics. They will greatly
enhance the learning experiences for our students.”
AMS was founded in 1983 by two Alfred University professors
who wanted to create a rich educational pre-school program for their own young
children. Since its inception, the school has provided a strong foundation of
learning and care for our community’s children. We are more than a daycare.
When you chose us, you chose to invest in your child’s education and
development.
The success of any Montessori School, but especially AMS, is
very dependent on parents' involvement. We are a non-profit organization, and
the school’s operation relies on family and community support. We encourage you
to become involved with your child's program, supporting the educational and
social experiences, and sharing in the joys and satisfactions the child
experiences in his or her own learning. Plan to attend parent-teacher
conferences, fund-raising activities, and any other events. We have always
maintained an open door policy and invite you to come to observe your child
often. You will discover much more about what your child is learning by
observing.
The Alfred Montessori School is located on South Main Street
in Alfred. They offer programs for: infants (6 weeks – 18 months), toddlers (18
– 36 months), preschool (3 – 6 years) and after school (5-12 years). For more

The Allegany County Area Foundation holds assets of over 8.5
million dollars. The endowed funds continue to grow in perpetuity to enrich and
improve the lives of Allegany County people. If you would like more information
