Why Families in Meath Have Trusted The Montessori Story for Over 20 Years

A Trusted Name in Early Years Education

For over two decades, The Montessori Story has been part of family life in Meath, starting with our Navan setting and later expanding to Kells. In that time, we’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of children during their most formative years, creating a foundation for confidence, creativity, and lifelong learning.

What’s kept families coming back?

It’s simple: our consistent care, commitment to quality, and a warm, welcoming environment where every child is valued for who they are.

A Montessori and Playschool Approach That Grows With Your Child

We’re proud to be both a Montessori and Playschool, blending the structure and focus of Montessori education with the play-based experiences children love.

Montessori philosophy encourages independence, curiosity, and hands-on learning. Our teachers gently guide children as they explore at their own pace, following their natural interests during key developmental stages. Alongside this, we offer playful group activities, creative expression, and outdoor time that sparks joy, social connection, and imagination.

It's a balance that works, one that supports both emotional growth and early learning in a way that feels natural, fun, and full of discovery.

A Space That Feels Like Home

Both our Navan and Kells settings are designed with children in mind, from the layout of each room to the welcoming outdoor spaces that invite movement, play, and exploration.

In Navan, our long-standing purpose-built facility includes cosy corners, open activity areas, and a spacious outdoor space where children can run, dig, and let their imaginations roam. In Kells, the same care and attention is given to creating a calm, engaging environment filled with colour, texture, and opportunity.

We believe children thrive when they feel safe and seen, and our spaces reflect that belief. If you're considering a Montessori for your child, you’re always welcome to arrange a visit and see it for yourself.

A Team That Truly Cares

At the heart of The Montessori Story is a team of dedicated early years professionals who bring passion, experience, and kindness to their work every single day.

Our staff are not only qualified and registered, but continuously developing their skills and understanding through ongoing professional training. More importantly, they care deeply about what they do, forming meaningful bonds with each child and building trust with families from day one.

What matters to us? Creating a space where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn, and where parents feel confident that their child is in good hands.

Looking Ahead: A New Chapter for You and Your Child

As we continue our 20+ year journey, we’re as committed as ever to giving children the best possible start.

Right now, we have limited spaces available in our afternoon sessions (12:30–15:30), perfect for families seeking flexibility with the same high-quality care and learning environment.

And don’t forget, our Summer Camps are running throughout July and August in Navan and Kells, offering a few fun-filled weeks of crafts, music, nature walks, and play for children aged 2.5–6.

Whether you’re just starting to explore options or looking for a place that feels like home, we’d love to welcome you to The Montessori Story.
