The Juliana Group was formed in1993 by three educators at the Juliana Hotel in downtown San Francisco. The founder's primary goal for Juliana was to offer high quality materials at reasonable prices.  Gonzagarredi, the Italian manufacturer of Montessori materials, was chosen as the source of quality didactic materials and unique classroom furniture because it was the original creator of AMI approved materials and furniture for Dr. Montessori and has maintained a superior standard of quality over the years.

Gonzagarredi Manufacturers are located in Gonzaga, Italy.  Gonzagarredi is one of only two European manufacturers that produce Montessori materials that meet the rigid standards of Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).

Gonzagarredi produces the only wooden classroom furniture specifically designed for the Montessori classroom. It meets the most rigid environmental and safety requirements making it functional, durable and safe for young children. Additionally, the manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty on furniture, making it the most comprehensive in the industry.

Today, the Juliana Group is based in the beautiful port city of Savannah, GA. It has grown to become the largest distributor of Montessori materials and furniture in the United States.  The Juliana Group maintains a substantial inventory of products in its warehouse.  This allows them to offer quick and convenient delivery of materials and furniture anywhere in the United States. Juliana offers unique services including on-site unpacking and inventorying of Montessori materials with major purchases as well as on-site assembly of all furniture.

Juliana prices are more reasonable than those of other manufacturers and distributors of quality materials meeting strict AMI standards. It is a companythat stresses service and 100% customer satisfaction. The Juliana Group's motto is "Ask someone who has recently purchased materials or furniture from us" making us a distributor of Montessori materials and furniture that is customer responsive.
