OUR MISSION

We believe children are naturally curious and eager to learn, and it’s crucial to guide them in how to explore and discover. Our authentic Montessori philosophy embraces the whole child and their role in the community. At Bluebird Montessori School, our mission is to equip your child with the essential skills to succeed. We are dedicated to delivering a Montessori education in a healthy, balanced environment, laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

Authentic Montessori Philosophy

The Montessori method, developed by Italian educator Maria Montessori, is a child-centered educational approach. It emphasizes adapting the learning environment to the child’s developmental stage and integrating physical activity to master abstract concepts and practical skills. Our curriculum is authentic Montessori and includes hands-on activities, allowing children to immerse themselves in the learning process, sometimes creating delightful, educational messes!

Exploring Our World Program

At Bluebird Montessori, our Exploring Our World Program enriches education by connecting children with their community through immersive, hands-on learning. The program includes field trips to local businesses, nature reserves, and cultural sites in Downtown Overland Park, providing real-world experiences that complement our Montessori curriculum.

Additionally, we bring community members into the school, such as firefighters, musicians, and artists, to engage with the children directly. These visits inspire curiosity and provide children with a deeper understanding of the diverse roles within their community.
