Montessori Plus School is dedicated to the development of the "whole" child.
The Montessori philosophy of education integrates the Christian view of the child and the world based on Dr. Maria Montessori's own Christian world view.
The "plus" in Montessori Plus indicates this Christian approach to the Montessori way of learning.
Montessori Plus School allows children the freedom to learn and develop at their own individual pace in a stimulating, yet home-like environment.
This school year, we have two campuses one on Kent's East Hill and one in downtown Kent.
Certified Montessori teachers direct each classroom with the assistance of Montessori interning teachers.
