Mariposa Montessori School

History

Mariposa Montessori School was founded by Whitney Falcon, an American Montessori Society certified Guide on the birth -3 year old level. Having moved to Austin in 2003 with her family, Whitney was interested in finding a place of employment, as well as a school for her children to attend. She found that an additional Montessori School that followed the standards set forth by the American Montessori Society was needed in Austin. Her vision to create an environment that would meet those standards began to take shape as she worked at several schools from 2003-2006. Friends, family members, and respected directors of other Montessori Schools in the area urged Whitney to move forward with the idea of opening her own school. After almost a year of hard work, overcoming challenges, and many hard lessons learned, Mariposa Montessori School was established.
