The Montessori Garden School

Welcome to our website!

If, after looking through the different pages on our site- you find you want to know more- please don't hesitate to call us.

Hi-  I am Deborah Kumpula, and I am the Directress and owner of the Montessori Garden School.  Let me take this opportunity to tell you about myself.

I've been passionately involved in Montessori Education for 30 years.

It is our desire here at The Montessori Garden to make our school a fun and educational experience for your child.  We celebrate and welcome each child, who learn at their own pace, need structure and freedom, love and understanding, to be challenged educationally and socially.  I believe in the Montessori philosophy with my whole heart.  My own two daughters went all the way through 4th grade in a Montessori school.  I believe they are better learners and explorers because of that.

This past year we have leased and remodeled a beautiful farmhouse just minutes west of our original school. This almost 2 acre school's main charms are a panoramic view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, fruit trees, more room to garden with the children, a playscape complete with sand box, a friendship garden, room to run, and a forested landscape all around us. Almost daily the children see deer, eagles or mountain beavers.

Please call to schedule a time to observe for an hour in the morning or an afternoon tour of the school in the late afternoon.

Our newest addition is Marta- our Spanish teacher.
