First off, Burr Ridge Bilingual Montessori was built by Aesha Nahas and her husband Ammar after they moved back to the US ending many years of work in education overseas. 

 

In 2016, BBM established its place in Burr Ridge as the first Bilingual - English/Arabic Montessori Preschool, with a focus on Islamic Education. After six successful years, BBM was looking to expand.
