Choosing the right educational environment for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Montessori education offers a unique approach that fosters independence, curiosity, and a life-long love of learning. At Winterset Montessori, we embrace the Montessori philosophy, which encourages children to learn at their own pace through hands-on activities and child-led exploration. Our goal is to nurture the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically.

At Kansas City Montessori, we honor each childs natural curiosity and unique path to learning. Formerly known as Winterset and Westport Montessori, our school is rooted in the Montessori philosophyfostering independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Our carefully prepared environments encourage exploration, discovery, and meaningful work, supporting the whole child in their social, emotional, and cognitive development.
