We provide a stimulating, challenging, and rewarding environment for children ages 3-6 years in which the child feels free to work, grow, and function according to the child's individual needs.

Our school offers a warm, secure environment where the needs of each child can be met.

Our staff understands the child's social, physical, emotional, and intellectual needs.

Avila University has made a difficult decision to close the Montessori School and the Child Care Center at the end of this academic year, May 9, 2008.

We have considered this decision over the past several years and multiple factors currently suggest that this is the right time to make the decision.

Avila has proudly served the Kansas City community with quality Montessori education since 1968.  Hundreds of students began their education as preschoolers on the Avila campus.  The excellent reputation of the program is directly related to the qualified, professional staff that has served us so well.

Sincerely,

Ronald A. Slepitza, Ph.D.
