Educating our children and preparing them for school is incredibly important to our central mission.

That’s why we offer a weekday Montessori Good Shepherd program at Trinity. Along with Bible- and Liturgy-based lessons, we use Montessori materials and practices designed to encourage calmness, grace, courtesy, and interest in art, music, math, literacy-readiness, and more for children ages 2 1/2 through 5.

Critical Time

Our Montessori program is born out a love for the children of our community and exists to fill a gap within the local area. This program was started by Lyn Sorenson as a Sunday School class that has been part of Trinity’s Sunday School for many years and has grown into this weekday program. Families interested in program enrollment or seeking more information may pick up an information packet in our Church Office at 508 Center Street, Ashland, or call 419-289-2126, or email Cindy Duffy at montessori@trinityashland.org.
