Welcome to Kentstown Montessori School

        Welcome to Kentstown Montessori School web site, which I hope you find informative and helpful.  

Kentstown Montessori School was founded in 1997.   The School is situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Kentstown and caters for children aged 2½ - 6 year olds.   We were originally sited in the local National School however in December 2003 we moved to our purpose built preschool building on Somerville Road, just 200 meters from the village centre. We are delighted with the new building and are very proud of our classroom and outdoor facilities.  

The goal of Kentstown Montessori School is to develop the child's natural learning ability to its fullest extent, allowing him/her to approach the rest of their educational life with immense advantage and confidence.

The objective of Kentstown Montessori School is to provide the child with daily experiences through an ordered environment of responsible freedom.  

'I am Becoming'....is our aphorism for our school where the child advances in steps to higher levels of intellect, ability and wisdom. The uniqueness of each child is affirmed in the words I am in the aphorism, "I am Becoming." One living in continual development is a human being becoming in contrast to a static "being." At Kentstown Montessori School, the staff and students reflect the dynamic potential for growth.

We pride ourselves on our relationship with our Parents and encourage continuous enquiry of their child's settling in and/or progress.  Through this web site we are providing a unique online access for Parents to review the child's progress.     The site also provides online Newsletters for parents and an email alert to parents on chart updates, new information, news and briefs of what is happening month by month in their child’s school curriculum.

Please take time to visit our web pages and try to experience some of the quality care and educational curriculum that we provide for the children.   Experience the unique parent-teacher relationship we have and how our school feels like an extension of the family as we care and educate the child together.

However, a brief visit to this website is no substitute for a visit to the school. If you are interested in Kentstown Montessori School, either for your child or because you may wish to work/train at the school, please telephone or email the school to obtain a prospectus booklet and/or arrange a visit.
