Northeast Iowa Montessori looking for a permanent home

Northeast Iowa Montessori School officials say they are looking into the relocation and possible expansion of the school.

The school is currently operating with a split campus. The preschool and kindergarten classroom is at West Side Early Childhood Center. The classroom for students ages 6 to 9 is located in a portable building at St. Benedict's school.

Director Jane Busch says, "We are researching our options for relocation and possible expansion now." $3,500 received from donations and ticket sales at a recent fundraiser will go towards the goal of a new campus.

Interested families may call the school at (563) 382-6491 to inquire about openings for the fall of 2010-2011.
