BeLoved Montessori

BeLoved Montessori’s Director, Meg O'Keeffe, stepped away from her extensive teaching career in 2007 with the knowledge and info she needed to grow in her love and caring for young children. Due to popular local demand, she immediately started a Montessori parent-infant class in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Multiple families came to love Meg and the Montessori approach so she began coaching parents how to bring Montessori into their homes. Over time, these same parents wanted to support Meg’s personal dream of building a local Montessori school – one that served children as young as infants. A substantial financial investment was all she needed. And one set of parents had so much faith and confidence in Meg’s gifts as they had watched their son blossom under her care; they decided to invest in her dream. After looking for the perfect property for over a year, then going through the planning, building, licensing, and inspections, Meg opened her first school on August 4, 2010. Since that date, Meg’s school has expanded to a bigger location and now includes multiple classrooms catered to the developmental needs of each individual child, has an array of quality, caring teachers and an amazing group of families who truly believe in BeLoved Montessori and what it provides each child, each parent and ultimately, the entire community.
