Discovery Kidzone Montessori Schools is where Bozeman’s children thrive through innovation, nature, and nurturing education. They are transforming early childhood education in Bozeman, offering a unique blend of Montessori principles, outdoor learning, and a deep commitment to teacher development. With three vibrant campuses located at 109 Highland Blvd, 679 Rosa Way, and 661 Rosa Way, Discovery Kidzone is led by nationally recognized early childhood expert Rachel Supalla, whose vision is to make the magic of play a priority for future generations.

Discovery Kidzone stands out for its ‘Montessori with Reggio-inspired curriculum,’ which combines the independence and hands-on learning of Montessori with the creativity and collaborative exploration of Reggio Emilia, nurturing confident, curious, and socially engaged learners. This unique blend empowers children to take ownership of their learning while fostering imagination, critical thinking, and meaningful connections.

Outdoor nature classrooms are thoughtfully designed to nurture the whole child,  and are complemented by a dedicated music education program. Children are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow in an environment that values independence, kindness, and creativity.

“As an early childhood expert and advocate, I believe young children deserve more than care—they deserve rich experiences, meaningful connections, and the chance to fall in love with learning,” says Supalla. “At Discovery Kidzone, our mission is to provide just that.”

In addition to enriching programs for children, Discovery Kidzone also invests heavily in the growth of its educators. Through a robust in-house training system and a mentor teacher program, staff members are continually supported in their professional development. This creates consistent, high-quality classrooms led by passionate, empowered educators.
