What it reported doing in 2020
Kids in montessori, inc. (kim school) was founded as a non-profit educational organization in 2002. It provides a pre-school educational experience for children ages 3 to 6 and early elementary ages 6 to 9. Kim school has completed 15 years of service to children and has grown significantly from the little one-room schoolhouse and the six students we started with in 2002. The kim school gives equal consideration to all children, regardless of race, color, creed, sex, religious denomination, sexual orientation, and national origin. Kim school admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin. The montessori method is an approach to learning with no distinctions of class. Furthermore, kim school makes every effort to promote diversity as a value in its curriculum and within its student body and staff. Kim seeks diversity, believing that children benefit from learning with children of various backgrounds, learning styles and inherent abilities.in a montessori setting, such as a kim school, mixed ages and non-graded, the children spontaneously and independently use materials designed by dr. Montessori. The children independently choose their own activities and develop practical and intellectual abilities through personal discovery and exploration of language, mathematics, geography, geometry, art and music. The extremely social atmosphere of this environment branches from a unique combination of freedom and structure that is founded on respect. Kim school's education aides the fullest development of the child's potential and provides them with the foundation for a life of joyful learning.our school environment itself models the inspiration of dr. Montessori. It is tailored to the children. All built to their eye-level with work stations, benches, cubbies, sinks, even toilets literally "fit" them. Creating the most natural and life-supporting environments for the child, observing the child living freely in the environment and continually adapting and modifying the environment so that each child may fulfill their greatest potential, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually are what dr. Montessori encouraged others in children's education to consider and what kim school does.operations for the kim school ended in fy2021 due to issues with cash flow and the covid-19 pandemic. All assets were sold and debt was paid in this fiscal year.
