Today is International Day of Peace, we are reminded that peace is more than a goal it is a daily practice. In our classrooms, peace begins with the child.

We don’t just teach academics; we teach empathy, grace, and how to resolve conflicts with kind words and understanding.
Trading competition for cooperation and independence for respect, our students are learning how to create a more harmonious world, one small act of kindness at a time. We hope the peace built in our classrooms ripple out into our community and our world.

Happy International Peace Day!

Today we’re feeling especially grateful for the woman whose ideas still guide so much of what we do. Born on August 31, 1870, Dr. Maria Montessori changed the way the world thinks about education by trusting children to explore, lead, and grow at their own pace.

At Wichita Montessori School, we get to see that vision in action every day—in the way children concentrate deeply, care for each other, and light up when they learn something new.

"The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'" — Dr. Maria Montessori

What a beautiful first full week of the 2026–2027 school year! 🌿 In true Montessori spirit, children are settling into routines, choosing purposeful work, practicing grace and courtesy, and growing independence each day. We are so grateful for our families and excited for a year of curiosity, growth, learning.

We also look forward to celebrating Dr. Maria Montessori’s birthday on Monday! 💛

This week, we came across a wonderful description of Montessori mastery from Prime Montessori Academy in Maryland, and we felt it captured the heart of mastery so beautifully that we wanted to share it with our families and followers. If you have any questions about mastery and how it is incorporated at Wichita Montessori, please contact us today—we’re always happy to help!

Discover how Montessori mastery learning, with its focus on depth, repetition, and precision, creates strong academic foundations, concentration, and independence compared to traditional early learning programs at Prime Montessori Academy in North Potomac.

Our families and our parents group are just the best around!

Today we had our fall feast and this morning teachers were welcomed by students with thankful postcards ❤️ our main entree and star of the show! Three turkeys were provided and cooked to delicious perfection from our parents.

Then teachers received another surprise handmade adorable pumpkins from a former WMS parent. We are so thankful for the fantastic community we have!

🍂 In November, we are thankful for so many things.
This season reminds us of how much we have — and how much we can give back to our community.

Every Thursday, our neighbors at Hillside Christian Church host a food pantry from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. This week, our Upper Elementary class (3rd–5th years) and their teachers had the honor of volunteering and helping guests carry their much-needed food items to their vehicles. ❤️

If you’re looking for ways to help this season, the pantry is currently in need of:
• Canned meat products (tuna, chicken)
• Shelf-stable items
• Peanut butter

You’re welcome to drop off donation items at the WMS office, and we will deliver them to the pantry on Thursdays. Our students will continue volunteering beyond the holidays, and we’ll make sure all donated items reach the families who need them most.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and learn alongside our community partners.
