It is with a sad and heavy heart that we share with you that after nearly 30 years in operation Heritage Montessori will no longer be able to serve our community. Heritage has survived many hurdles over the years, which include a recession/depression, the loss of kindergarten to public schools, & even a Pandemic; but we cannot continue with the existing staff shortages created by the Pandemic. We were hoping someone would be able to step up and there would be no lapse in service. Heritage Montessori has been a beacon in the Big Lake and surrounding communities since the early 90's. We are no longer accepting summer or fall enrollment for 2022. Many thanks to all of the families who have supported Heritage over the years and to all the current and past staff who helped make Heritage Montessori so successful!!!
