Mission Montessori Preschool was created in 1998 by Kristen Hunt-Jones.  Miss Kristen is a licensed Montessori and Early Childhood Educator.  She holds both a Saint Nicholas (Traditional) and Progressive Montessori Teacher training Certificate.  Miss Kristen is also a licensed PATHs instructor, Kindermusik educator and has training in Samonas Music Therapy. 

She now works side by side with Lori Weber, Raisa Baicus, and Elza Hunfeld, Montessori Certified Early Childhood Educators.

 
 

Miss Kristen's unique, progressive and well-balanced form of Montessori teaching was recieved so well by the community of Mission, she has since expanded with 2 locations in Mission.

Our program features traditional Montessori materials and activities alongside a weekly music program, PATHs and phonics/whole language programs.   We also use a healthy Early Childhood Education approach.  We pride ourselves on teaching with a "whole child" perspective and do not follow any hard and fast rules when it comes to educating children. 
 
Every child is different, every child is unique, and what applies for one may not be the same for another.  We keep accurate records of what your child is doing at school and base the academics on individual skill and interest. 
 
We complete report cards and have parent/teacher conferences each year.  We work hard to establish open communication with every parent.  Setting goals for success at school is important and we take into account every child's family expectations and wishes, as well as the child's own interests and abilities. 
 
 

We go on field trips, have special events like Christmas parties, year end picnic celebrations and our famous Mother's Day Tea Parties.

Our programming utilizes the  Montessori materials and philosophy and we have fully stocked shelves with exciting practical life, sensorial, math, language, geography and science activities.  We also have a healthy ECE approach offering dramatic play in the housekeeping center, fun and games, music experiences, arts and crafts, computer, listening center and so much more! 
 
Every child takes an active role in the maintenance of the classroom and helps with tidying, caring for plants, learning how to prepare foods, serving themselves at snack and keeping our playground and garden beautiful. 
 
We utilize a variety of teaching resources including the "Fun Family Phonics" program, sign language, culture and language studies and exciting science and nature experiences. 

Our classes are flexible ranging from 1-5 days per week.  Our classes are 3 hours long and fees include the wonderful weekly music programs and learning materials such as journals and workbooks!

 
 

Join Miss Kristen, Miss Lori, Miss Raisa & Miss Elza for an exciting learning experience with a common sense approach.  We look forward to meeting you and working with your family!
