A Haven for Growing Hearts
A Haven for Growing Hearts
Kindred Montessori Academy is more than a school — it’s a place where children are known, valued, and deeply cared for.
Every classroom is designed to honor the child’s natural rhythm, curiosity, and capacity for joyful learning.
We believe childhood should feel warm, peaceful, and full of wonder. Our environments are intentionally simple, beautiful, and calm so that each child can focus, explore, and become confident in who they are.
Here, learning is not rushed — it unfolds gently, with respect and purpose.
A Community that Grows Together
A Community that Grows Together
At Kindred, we believe that education is a partnership.
Families and educators work hand-in-hand to nurture a child’s growth, offering encouragement, support, and shared intention.
Our community is built on trust, empathy, and genuine connection. We welcome diversity in family stories, cultures, and backgrounds — each one enriching the heart of our school.
Together, we create a place where every child belongs.
A Place to be Known
A Place to be Known
Every child who enters our doors brings their own gifts, struggles, questions, and potential.
At Kindred, we honor each individual and meet them right where they are.
Our guides observe carefully, respond thoughtfully, and support each child’s unique path. We believe that children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and truly seen.
This is the heart of Kindred — a place where students grow into themselves with confidence and joy.
Our Montessori Approach
Our Montessori Approach
The Montessori philosophy guides everything we do.
Children learn through hands-on exploration, purposeful work, and freedom within clear and loving boundaries. They develop concentration, independence, social responsibility, and a lifelong love for learning.
Our classrooms include:
A beautifully prepared environment
Multi-age communities
Hands-on, sensorial materials
Individual and small-group lessons
Long, uninterrupted work cycles
Respectful guidance and modeling
We see the child as capable, intelligent, and full of potential — and our role is to nurture that potential with care.
Belonging
At Kindred Montessori Academy, students are encouraged to explore materials, curriculum, and personal interests with the guidance and support of our dedicated guides.
While we are a school and we offer childcare, we are so much more than that. We are a community of families and children learning, working, and playing together—nurturing each child’s growth and development along the way.
Joyful Learning
"Take my picture too, Ms. Sarah!" Our young student here is tweezing beans from one cup to the other. He's building his self-control, eye-hand coordination and strength, and concentration.
Independence
“I do it myself!” isn’t your child pushing back—it’s them showing confidence in their growing abilities.
Even small tasks, like parking bikes in their spots, can give children a powerful sense of belonging, independence, and growth.
Grace & Courtesy
Waiting for a turn can be tough, but it nurtures patience and a growing awareness of others.
Our young child is waiting for the play dough. She's been offered other work and has said, "no thank you." The other child pictured has asked for her work not to be touched. Both have shown respect and kindness to each other.
Our Story
Our Story
Kindred Montessori Academy began with a simple belief: that childhood deserves gentleness, beauty, and respect.
What started as a dream to create a small, nurturing community has grown into a place where families find connection and children thrive.
Our name — Kindred — reflects the heart behind our work:
a community bound by shared care, purpose, and love for the child.
