Keystone Montessori is excited to share the fresh updates and new features of our redesigned website! We invite you to spend some time exploring the pages and videos — whether you're a current parent or caregiver or a new family searching for the right school home, there's something wonderful here for you.

We are truly grateful to all the parents and caregivers who have volunteered this year! Your time and talents are invaluable in supporting our children and classrooms.

One unique aspect of the authentic Montessori experience at Keystone is the 3-year cycle, which is the period of time during which children remain in the same classroom with the same teacher, and work on various activities at their own pace. The 3-year-cycle is the cornerstone of each level from our Children's House through the Adolescent environment, and we are happy to share some of the benefits of this Montessori practice.

Montessori education is renowned for its ability to foster independence and self-directed learning in children.This approach, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, empowers students to take ownership of their education and encourages them to explore and learn at their own pace.

Montessori education isn't confined to the classroom; its principles can extend into the home environment, fostering a seamless continuity in a child's learning journey. Parents and Caregivers play a crucial role in supporting these principles outside of school, creating an environment that nurtures independence, curiosity, and self-discovery. Here are some effective ways parents and caregivers can integrate Montessori principles into their home life.
