About Little Ones MONTESSORI


The Evolution of Little Ones Montessori School

Little Ones at Rooster Road: A Montessori Children's House was founded in 2005 by Michael Dunnivant and her husband, Daniel E. Dunnivant, and was intended to serve Primary children ages three to six years in a high quality Association Montessori Internationale inspired Montessori environment.

Together, Michael and Dan established a Limited Liability Corporation that is funded by tuition, grants, and donations from benefactors who are also committed to transforming children’s lives through self-construction in a Montessori environment.

After over 20 years of working in the education field, both in the public and private sector, as a teacher, trainer, and researcher, Michaél undertook the process of turning the present facility from a house into a Children's House for Little Ones Montessori.

The present facility is located under the old oaks of South Daytona on a quiet street. This affords the children a large shaded outdoor yard and garden area for work and play. The property is also convenient to major shopping, attractions, and beautiful Daytona Beach.

Little Ones Montessori, in its fourth year of operation, is now a private school and has expanded its programs to include a Toddler Community, ages 15 months to three years and Lower Elementary, ages 6 - 9 years. In Fall 2009, a second Children's House will be added to meet the growing demand. With its expansion, Little Ones at Rooster Road: A Montessori Children's House has become Little Ones Montessori School.
