Who We Are

Webster Montessori School cultivates a love for learning by encouraging curiosity, exploration, and self-direction. In our Montessori classrooms, students are celebrated for their individuality and given the support to follow their interests, solve problems independently, and develop the confidence to seek knowledge beyond the classroom. Founded in 1967, we are chartered by the New York State Board of Regents and accredited by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).

Our Mission

The mission of Webster Montessori School is to engage the inquisitive mind, hands, and heart of each child, cultivating resilient learners, confident leaders, and compassionate citizens guided by Montessori principles. 

Our Vision

With Montessori principles at our core, our vision is to create an inclusive community where children grow into confident, compassionate leaders guided by integrity. Through child-led discovery and a lifelong passion for learning, we empower every child to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing global society, contributing to a peaceful and hopeful world.
