From the Director… WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!
Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow. – Mary Anne Radmacher
Welcome back to another great and exciting year! I believe this is going to be our best school year yet! We are truly thankful for your continued commitment to Montessori education and to Kenmont Montessori School. We know you have many choices and we are honored you have chosen us.
All the teachers, assistants, and myself are committed to working hard and making this school year an exciting educational experience for your child. Our goal for your child is for him/her to be the best they can possibly be. We will challenge and support them, always wanting the best for them.

KENMONT MONTESSORI SCHOOL
Education for a Lifetime
2734 North Coria, Brownsville, Texas AUGUST, 2016
Parents, we ask for your support to help us achieve our goals. Please bring your child to school by 8:00. Classes begin at 8:15 promptly. We do not believe in wasted time. We are very “stingy” with our time with them. Also, when possible, please schedule doctor, dentist or any other visits afterschool. We also understand that sometimes situations come up. Picking students up early is highly discouraged. Please make every effort to keep your child in class all day.
This year, I will be starting a new tradition which I hope lasts for a while. “Coffee with the Director” will give you an opportunity to see what the children are doing and what you can do at home. It will also be a time to learn more about Kenmont and what we offer. Our first “coffee” will be on September 1st at 5:00 pm. More details to follow.
All of our teachers have an email account. Please feel free to email them with any questions or concerns.
As this new year starts a few words…
Teaching is our vocation, our mission and our profession. We will love and care for your children when you leave them at our door. We will teach them to be independent.. to be thinkers.. and to love learning and questioning.
Welcome back!
