To Our Valued Customers:
We are pleased to announce that ETC Montessori will be expanding its partnership with Nienhuis Montessori USA. As part of this transition, ETC Montessori has decided to stop production of our ETC curriculum support and printed materials at our Houston, Texas facility, effective immediately, while we determine the best way to coordinate future production in a manner that is both cost-effective and consistent with the quality and rigor our customers expect.
ETC Montessori has been operating in Houston, TX for over 20 years. This May, we will work to transition the business as a licensor and brand owner to Nienhuis Montessori USA. Both organizations have always shared complementary strengths, common values, and a collective vision for the future. Nienhuis Montessori USA and ETC Montessori have been working together as partners within the industry for over a decade, and it was our immediate choice for continuing the ETC Montessori legacy.
We are excited about the opportunities this partnership brings with the ultimate goal of doing everything we can to offer ETC curriculum support materials again in the near future. Meanwhile, you may continue to order Nienhuis Montessori Classroom Packages, Gonzagarredi Montessori materials, as well as Educo-branded items online within the ETC online marketplace.
All order fulfillment will be handled by Nienhuis Montessori USA in the Gilroy, CA distribution center, while digital orders will continue to be handled directly through our website.
We value your continued trust and support, and we all look forward to a successful and impactful 2026.
