Johnson County Montessori Preschool was established in 1965 to encourage young children’s natural joy for learning and develop problem-solving skills they will use in the classroom and everyday life for years to come. This preschool, owned by CLO, also offers an integration program for children with special needs, especially children with autism. Here, children with special needs have the opportunity to interact, establish relationships and otherwise become part of the classroom family along with their normally developing peers.
