Open house

All are welcome to visit the school during open house and learn more about the Montessori approach to early childhood and elementary education. Prospective students and their parents will be able to explore the classrooms, try the hands-on materials, meet the teachers, and talk to current parents about their experience.
Come explore the opportunity for your child and discover the Montessori approach.
Welcome to KMS
At Kennebec Montessori School we promote curiosity and exploration through experiential learning for children ages 3 – 12. We foster the independence that each child yearns for by promoting responsibility for themselves, others, and the environment. Our work is driven by the needs of the whole child; social, emotional and cognitive. We embrace the opportunity to support children academically on their unique paths as lifelong learners.
KMS is…
- the oldest Montessori school in the state of Maine, operating since 1976 and accredited by the American Montessori Society since 2007.
- the only non-denominational, alternative Elementary school in the greater Waterville area supporting students from diverse backgrounds and widespread communities including Pittsfield, Unity, Skowhegan, Kingfield, Belgrade, China, Augusta, and Dexter.
- situated on 14 acres of fields and woodlands, with a stream and beautiful views, convenient to Interstate 95. Children can cross-country ski in the winter and garden in the spring, all while enjoying a large playground that overlooks an adjoining farm.
The environment at KMS fosters independence, curiosity and mindfulness. I appreciate the way my child is learning about how she fits into the greater world and how our actions can have a positive ripple effect. I am thankful everyday that our daughter is able to learn and grow in such a loving, supportive, enriched community.
