Nurturing children's growing independence,
curiosity and confidence for over 40 years!
Welcome to Sunnyside Mennonite Montessori School, located in the heart of Hawthorne in Southeast Portland. We are committed to applying the teaching methods of Maria Montessori, providing a supportive and structured learning environment that emphasizes hands on learning, independence, and real world skill development. Throughout its history, SMMS has been committed to making high-quality early childhood education affordable. With the help of annual fundraising, and a generous sponsorship from Portland Mennonite Church, we are able to provide Portland families of all income levels with a place for their children to grow and thrive.
Our family has found a true home in SMMS. The teachers and community of parents are supportive, loving and really do create a community where children thrive!
