It is Admissions & Enrollment season!  We are pleased to be welcoming back the vast majority of our students for next year.  We will be opening up our Waiting Pools in each program to a very limited number of spaces.  If you or any of your friends/contacts in the community are considering enrollment for a child, especially in the incoming 1st, 4th, and 6th grades, please contact Ms. Alex at office@montessorikeywest.com or come and speak with her in the Front Office to start the conversation while the admissions season for August 2026 is upon us.  We offer Tours & Observations on Thursday mornings and would love to share what we do here with anyone who may be interested in learning more.

Weekly Miracle Makers

Oftentimes it feels like our school is powered by Miracles.  Miracles large and small happen each week to pull off all that we do here.  Those miracles appear in acts of love and kindness and service by parents, children, staff, alumni, community members, and more, and each week we highlight a special one here.

This week’s Miracle Maker is Ms. Lorna Castro, our beloved Toddler assistant of many years, who has moved on to pursue her passion of event planning and decor as a full-time business.  She is in the process of once again building our famous Supper Club pinata, as she specializes in custom pinatas for all occasions.  If you are looking for help with an upcoming event and want it done with professionalism, style, creativity and joy – please contact Ms. Lorna with Pinata Party Keys – here is the link to their info: Piñatas & Party Keys | Key West FL | Facebook
