Most Montessori schools run on two pieces of software. One for observations. One for fees and messaging. A WhatsApp group fills the gaps. As a director, you are the human glue between three systems and forty parents.
A Montessori school deserves more than that. So we built Montigo.
Montigo changes that.
What is Montigo
Montigo is the school app for Montessori schools that run on the Montigo platform. It is the staff side of the same app your parents use. Observations. Attendance. Transport.
Messages. Calendar. Leave. Fees. Gate notes.
One app instead of three. One source of truth instead of a WhatsApp group, a learning tracker, and a guide's paper notebook.
Built for Montessori. Not adapted from generic preschool software.
For directors
One screen for your whole school. Vans on a map. Today's attendance. Children not observed in the last seven days. Parents you have not messaged in two weeks. Fees pending.
Quiet exception alerts — the system tells you what needs your attention before a parent calls. A van stationary for twelve minutes. An observation drought in the Sunflowers. An announcement that needed acknowledgement and did not get one.
The school keeps running the same when you are at the bank, when a teacher is on leave, when a driver quits. Because the work lives in the app, not in someone's head.
For admins
One action, four places done. Mark a child on leave and the van skips the stop, the register updates, the parent is informed, and the snack count drops by one. You stop being a relay station.
Outings, holidays, parent meetings — set up once and everything propagates. Calendar, transport, attendance, parent notifications. Six steps in four systems become one step in one app.
For guides
Log an observation in four taps. From the floor, between work cycles. Not on Sunday night, from memory.
Every observation is structured the Montessori way. Material, work cycle, concentration, presentation stage. Termly reports are drafted from what you logged through the term, not reconstructed the night before conferences.
When you go on leave, the next guide sees every child's full history on day one. No more notebooks walking out the door when staff change.
For drivers and attendants
Live route view with student order. Pickup and drop in one tap. Skipped stops surface automatically. Live GPS to the parent and to the school. This part of Montigo is live today
and used every morning.
Why Montessori first matters
A Montessori day does not fit into periods and homework. It runs on works, presentations, the three period lesson, and the long uninterrupted work cycle. Montigo's vocabulary,
observation flow, and progress views are built around that. Not stuffed into a generic school template.
If your school is Montessori, your software should feel that way.
What Montigo replaces
Today most Montessori schools run on Kriyo or Transparent Classroom for tracking, Brightwheel or a transport app for the van, and a WhatsApp group for the rest. Three logins.
Three bills. A director who is the human glue.
Montigo is one app. One bill. One source of truth. The director gets her time back.
How we onboard
We work with one school at a time. White-glove migration of your students, parents, routes, classes, and fee plan. You go live in days, not weeks.
Who Montigo School is for
This app is for the staff of Montessori schools that have set up Montigo. Login is through your school account. If your school is not on Montigo yet and you would like it to be,
write to us. We will come to you.
