Mount Juliet Montessori Academy

Thank you for your interest in our school. At MJM, we have prepared an environment where a child is free to learn according to his/her own individual pattern of development; where group interaction is available; where the role of the teacher is to guide and direct, so the child may find joy in learning by discovery and where the emphasis is on the development of a healthy self-concept. We are one of the most unique child care centers in Mt. Juliet that functions as a school.

As you will discover throughout our website, we are very proud of the programs, the staff and most of all, our children. We hope you enjoy learning more about Mt. Juliet Montessori.
We invite you and your child to visit our school, observe our programs and tour our facilities. Please call (615) 758-0819 to set up a convenient time for your visit.
