The Chase Ranch Montessori School has been in business and located at its current El Cajon address for more than 10 years. The director of the school is Jill Lutz. Before coming to California, "Miss Jill" studied in Michigan and later went on to study at San Diego State University. The school is complete with two large classrooms and a playground area. The staff at the facility understands that their personalities and attitudes will affect the children they encounter. Therefore, they all make sure to work together to create a warm, loving and understanding environment for all of the children they teach.
