We’re responsive. We listen to your needs and go the extra mile to help your schools thrive. When we don’t know the answer, we work to find it.
We’re proactive. We constantly look for new opportunities to go further. We’re creative in our problem-solving. We ask ourselves how can we do more? We lean in.
We believe all children deserve a Montessori education.

Questions About Our Services
How long will it take to build a new website?
It usually takes 3-4 weeks to build your site, and then an additional 3-4 weeks of collaborating with you to complete the final changes and integrate the Montessori CRM. Typically, the total timeline is 6-8 weeks.
How long will it take to build a new website?
Yes! You will have access to your website editor to edit blog content, upload and link documents, make minor edits to the content areas, and replace select images. Changes to font styles (colors, fonts, sizes) should be left in our expert hands. You will receive detailed information about our policies related to this subject in your partnership agreement.
How customizable are your website themes?
We will customize your website to include your logo, branding, images, and content. Our themes offer a variety of layouts that include multiple pre-designated spots for photography. You will have the option to request the addition or removal of pages (35-page limit with a basic subscription), and edits to the theme’s content. However, the layouts themselves are not customizable since they were designed using our expertise in marketing, usability, and performance to deliver the best results!
What happens to my website if I cancel my subscription?
Our websites are subscription-based, much like Squarespace or Wix. If you decide to cancel your subscription with Montessori Thrive, then your website will also be canceled. We will work with you to transfer your information to your new provider.
Will you help me configure the Montessori CRM?
Yes! We will work with you to configure your Montessori CRM. You will also have access to our training videos in our help center.
Do you have Contracts?
No, we don’t require contracts. As a subscription-based service, you’re free to work with us without being locked into long-term commitments. That said, we do ask all new clients to sign a partnership agreement. This isn’t a contract, it’s simply a document that outlines the scope of our partnership and ensures there’s a clear understanding of expectations on both sides.
