Mercy Montessori Center opened its doors in Cincinnati, Ohio in September of 1969. There were forty students, ages three to seven, on that first day, under the guidance of four Montessori teachers. Sr. Mary Jacinta Shay, the founder and first principal of the school, had discovered the philosophy of the renowned Italian educator Dr. Maria Montessori. She believed that Montessori's principles, in combination with the values of the Sisters of Mercy would lead to a remarkable learning experience for children.
