The mission of the Montessori Day School of Blue Springs is to honor the works of Maria Montessori and the mind, imagination and heart of each child.
Under our guidance in the peaceful classroom, the child grows to realize his or her own richest potential in academics, personal and social capability to become self motivated, independent and a contributing member of the world community.
The young child is at his or her greatest learning ability from birth until almost seven.
The Montessori classroom is designed to take advantage of the way these young minds learn.
Our teachers approach each child individually and make the most of their given abilities, always growing their love of learning.
