What a safe, welcoming and engaging place! Montessori Children's School gave my kids a great foundation. They are self-directed, respectful and empathetic individuals. It's a whole-child education. I continue to be surprised at what they learned about their world at MCS.

My son has been attending the Montessori Children's School of Key West for three years. He completed his entire Primary education there, and I couldn't be happier with the education and experience he has had. The campus is unique and inviting, the staff are dedicated and professional, and genuinely care about all the children as individuals. My son received a very personalized classroom experience which encouraged him to excel in his strengths and work through his challenges. And he enjoyed it. The school is a very tight community that cares about each and every family. I would definitely recommend this school for anyone seeking a Montessori education for their child.

The Montessori Children's School has a beautiful campus in Key West, FL. Made up of toddler, primary, and elementary programs, each has it's own outside area and separate buildings as well as a main office and administrative office. This is not just "childcare" but a school that helps foster the children's natural learning skills and creates a sense of community among the staff and families. They offer educational nights for parents and hold cultural events throughout the school year, among many other wonderful programs and enrichments. It's a quality education that encourages creativity and kindness in children ages 18 months through 6th grade. We have loved our experience at The Children's School.

This school is amazing. It is nothing like you have ever experienced in the educational world. The campus is covered in a beautiful canopy of trees and the classrooms are in restored conch houses. Every person on campus from the staff to the families and children are kind and respectful. My son received an amazing education and left with more knowledge and experience than I could have ever imagined possible.

I had the pleasure of spending several days at the Montessori Children's School of Key West in May. While I've known the school for many years, I had the opportunity to get an inside look at the culture and educational program from early morning to the end of the day in every classroom. The setting is absolutely adorable. The school’s leadership is admirable. The current head of school, Amy O'Connor, went to the school as a child and has been part of the school as a parent, teacher, and, for the last eight years, as the school’s administrator. She is knowledgeable, dedicated, and beloved. I found the teachers, children, and families to be a lovely community. I highly recommend the school to anyone with a child from age 1-1/2 to 12 who is considering a move to Key West or is already part of the community. This is a great little school. This is the sort of school most of us wish we had attended.

It would be much better if this school wouldn't hire such terrible teachers!

LOVE this school! The teachers are passionate about teaching and they do an amazing job with the little ones. By far the best choice for our children.
