At Bluebird Montessori, we provide an exceptional early childhood education experience rooted in the authentic Montessori philosophy. Our nurturing environment encourages children to grow into independent, confident, and creative thinkers. Conveniently located in Downtown Overland Park, Kansas, Bluebird Montessori offers a comprehensive program for children from as early as 2 weeks to age 5, including Spanish and community-based learning experiences.
Bluebird’s authentic Montessori program is a child-centered educational approach that fosters independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. It features a prepared environment where children are free to choose activities that interest them, within set boundaries. The classroom is equipped with hands-on materials designed to support learning through exploration, discovery, and problem-solving, allowing children to progress at their own pace. Mixed-age groupings encourage peer learning, with older children mentoring younger ones, promoting both leadership and collaboration. Teachers, trained in Montessori philosophy, act as guides rather than traditional instructors, observing each child’s needs and providing individualized support to facilitate their natural development. Emphasis is placed on practical life skills, sensory experiences, and self-directed learning across core subjects like math, language, science, and cultural studies. The Montessori approach nurtures each child’s intrinsic motivation, fostering respect for themselves, others, and their environment.
What sets Bluebird Montessori apart is our unique blend of authentic Montessori education, enrichment classes, and our innovative Exploring Our World Program, which brings learning to life through immersive, community-driven experiences.
Our holistic approach extends far beyond the core classroom, offering culturally relevant enrichment classes that broaden each child’s understanding of the world. From monthly geography lessons to a Spanish curriculum taught by native speakers and our Happy Feet physical movement program.
The Exploring Our World Program adds an extra dimension to learning with engaging field trips to Downtown Overland Park and in-school visits from local experts. These hands-on, real-world experiences foster both academic and personal growth, preparing children to thrive in an ever-changing world.
With highly trained, Montessori certified teachers who nurture curiosity, independence, and a love for learning, we empower children to explore, discover, and reach their fullest potential, laying the foundation for lifelong success.
The health and safety of your child is our highest priority. Bluebird Montessori follows strict guidelines set by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), including enhanced safety protocols such as face-to-name recognition and a new biting policy. Our teachers receive continuous training in CPR, first aid, and health and safety standards, ensuring a safe and secure environment.
Our Montessori-certified teachers bring years of experience and a passion for early childhood education. Each teacher is dedicated to fostering an enriching learning environment where children feel supported and inspired to grow. With ongoing professional development, our educators are always at the forefront of best practices in Montessori education.
