A Kansas City, Missouri Montessori school is closing its doors and is giving parents just days to come up with alternatives. “It really is a beautiful school,” said one mom we talked to who asked not to be identified. “They have just amazing hallways and classrooms, and colorful and clean.” Right now the doors at Parkway Montessori are open. But that won’t be the case for much longer. An email from the school sent to parents on Monday reads in part: “It is with great sadness that we must inform you that as of July 31st, 2018, Parkway Montessori will be closing its doors. We know this will cause hardship to your family and, for that, we sincerely apologize.” “I think the word upset kind of covers, you know, angry and sad, and confused,” said the mom. She says a two-week notice is just not enough. As a working mother, she also attends school. Her husband works three jobs. Now, the family is scrambling to find a new school for their daughter. “Schools aren’t open on the weekends, so that is basically 10 days, 10 business days to figure it out,” she said. Rick Hann, President of the Board of Directors at Parkway Montessori, declined an on-camera interview, but said about 130 students are currently enrolled at the school, and about 50 staff members are employed. Hann says the reason for the closure is due to the operation failing financially – that’s based on low enrollment numbers. We’re told all families who pre-paid will be refunded, and that the decision by the board to close the school was “extremely difficult.” But the mother we spoke to is scrambling to find care for her family. “I would ask him, ‘Where was the communication? Where did that go wrong, and why did it go wrong?’”Hann says at least 180 students needed to be enrolled this year to keep the school in good financial standing. School staff members were also made aware of the closure on Monday.
