A Natural Fit: Montessori Meets HappyFeet
Montessori’s child-led, independence-focused model and HappyFeet’s imaginative play-based soccer curriculum are philosophically aligned — both treat active engagement and joyful exploration as the foundation of learning.
The partnership brings together two organizations with aligned educational philosophies. Academy Montessori
Internationale has provided authentic Montessori education in Kansas City since 1976, emphasizing independence,
active engagement, and child-led learning. HappyFeet’s imaginative, play-based soccer curriculum mirrors
these same principles.
“We know busy parents don’t need another place to drive. By bringing HappyFeet directly to Academy
Montessori Internationale, we’re giving families quality soccer instruction without adding to their
already-packed schedules. That’s what partnership should look like.”
Montessori philosophy meets play-based soccer.
