A Message from Our Director

"Welcome to Mountain View Montessori!

At Mountain View Montessori, we believe every child deserves to feel valued, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential. Our school is more than a place of learning; it is a community where students, families, educators, and local partners come together to create meaningful opportunities for growth, connection, and success.

As an educator and school leader, I am passionate about creating an environment where academic excellence, personal growth, and a strong sense of community go hand in hand. We recognize that every child brings unique strengths, experiences, and perspectives to our school, and we are committed to providing engaging educational experiences that challenge students, encourage creativity, and build confidence.

As we look toward the future, we do so with deep appreciation for those who came before us. Mountain View Montessori has been shaped by the dedication, vision, and contributions of past students, families, educators, and school leaders. Their efforts have laid the foundation upon which we continue to build. We honor that legacy by celebrating the accomplishments of our school community, learning from our experiences, and embracing opportunities to grow and improve. Our goal is not simply to create something new, but to build upon the strengths, traditions, and relationships that have made our school what it is today while thoughtfully shaping what it can become tomorrow.

Our vision for Mountain View Montessori is rooted in innovation, collaboration, and real-world learning. Through project-based learning opportunities, STEM education, outdoor learning laboratories, and hands-on experiences, we are creating opportunities for students to explore their interests, think critically, solve problems, and discover how they can positively impact the world around them.

At the heart of everything we do is community. We believe that strong relationships between students, teachers, families, and community partners create the foundation for meaningful learning. Our goal is to build a school where everyone feels a sense of belonging, where families are welcomed as partners, and where students understand the importance of contributing to something greater than themselves.

We are equally committed to fostering a positive school culture built on kindness, respect, responsibility, and connection. We want our students to feel safe taking risks, learning from mistakes, celebrating accomplishments, and developing the character and leadership skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

I am incredibly proud of our dedicated teachers and staff, who bring passion, creativity, and commitment to our classrooms every day. I am also deeply grateful for the families and community members who invest their time, talents, and support in our school. Education is most powerful when we work together, and I believe our greatest accomplishments are achieved through these partnerships.

It is an honor to lead Mountain View Montessori as we continue to grow, innovate, and strengthen our connections with the community we serve. We are proud of where we have been, inspired by where we are going, and committed to ensuring that every generation of students leaves our school stronger for those who follow.

Together, we are building more than a school. We are building a place where children belong, learning comes alive, and our community grows stronger.

With gratitude,

Kasidi Havens, M.Ed.Executive DirectorMountain View Montessori"
