Montessori-first school app

Less admin.
Better decisions.

The whole school day runs through one app. The van, the gate, the work cycle, the questions parents ask at pickup. Built on a real Montessori floor, not in an office.

A few more schools are onboarding as we speak.

We know your day

You did not start a school to spend it chasing WhatsApp messages and roll-call sheets.

“A parent stops you at pickup with a concern. By evening it is gone.
“You send “no school Friday” to sixty parents. You cannot tell who actually saw it.
“The van left twenty minutes ago and you are just hoping.
““How was school?” “Fine.” And the parent wants more.

We built Montigo on a real Montessori floor, watching these exact moments go wrong. So the app is shaped around your day, not a software company's idea of it.

One day, start to finish

Walk through a school day. We built for every hard part of it.

Every friction below is one we watched happen. Here is the exact part of the app that answers it.

7:30AM
Before the bell · the van
● Live in the app

One van. Toddlers and elementary kids. Traffic that shifts by the hour. Where do you even start?

Build the route once. Pick up at one place, drop at another, order every stop. Then see the turns that cost you ten minutes, drawn from your own trips.

  • Pick-up and drop can be different places. A toddler's home, an elementary school.
  • Morning pickups and afternoon drops, scheduled once per van.
  • Then your own trips show the turns that cost ten minutes, so tomorrow's route skips them.

The van is moving · watch it
● Live in the app

The van left twenty minutes ago. Every parent on that route is wondering. Three of them are calling you.

Two ways to see it. The office follows the van on the map, or opens the live camera right into the van. The parent gets one nudge, “five minutes away,” and walks to the gate.

  • GPS on a map, or GPS plus a live camera inside the van. Your call.
  • Parents get one message, “van 5 minutes away.” Only the family on that run, only then.
  • Every transport family opens it, every day. Nobody needs reminding.

The gate · who's in
● Live in the app

Roll call eats the first ten minutes of the floor. Every single morning.

Mark the whole class in one pass. Present, late, absent, on leave. The parent gets a quiet “she's in,” and your morning starts on the floor, not on a clipboard.

  • One tap per child, four clear states.
  • Parents see the arrival without you sending a thing.
  • The day's numbers roll up to the director on their own.

The work cycle · the real thing
● Live in the app

“How was school?” “Fine.” Sixty parents get that answer tonight. And you are the one who has to show the method is working.

The guide taps what they saw, no typing. The parent opens the app and sees it in the child's journey, with why the work matters and where it leads.

  • The guide logs it in a few taps, mid-lesson. No keyboard.
  • The parent sees the same work, with the “what this builds” line in plain words.
  • Follow the child, and let the parent follow along. Trust the process, with evidence.

Special block · art, dance, music
● Live in the app

You bring in an art teacher for a term. Suddenly every art question lands on you.

Add the visiting teacher with their own group. Parents' art questions go straight to them, scoped to just that group. You are out of a loop that was never yours.

  • A visiting instructor gets their own group and their own inbox.
  • Parents ask them directly about the showcase, the timings, the materials.
  • They see only their group. Nothing else in the school.

Pickup · the quiet worry
● Live in the app

A parent catches you at the gate. “I have a concern.” By evening, it's gone.

The parent raises it in the app, and it lands on the one person who owns it. The class teacher, the fees desk, or the art teacher for an art question. It stays open until it is closed.

  • Parents pick who it's for: class teacher, transport, fees, or a special class like dance or art.
  • It routes straight there. An art question never lands on the front desk.
  • Open until resolved. The office sees everything, and has to touch nothing.

Tomorrow's plan · the notice
● Live in the app

You send an important notice to sixty parents. Who actually saw it?

Send to the right group, then watch it land. See who has seen it and who has acknowledged, and remind the ones who haven't in one tap.

  • One notice to a class, a group, or the whole school.
  • A live count: sent, seen, acknowledged.
  • Remind everyone who hasn't acknowledged, in one tap.

Across the whole day

Which van is late. Which child was not observed. Which parent has not opened a message. One screen.

You cannot be on the Orchids floor and at the gate and on the phone at once. Montigo watches the day for you and surfaces only what needs you. Not a feed to scroll. A short list of what is off.

And the parent who can see the day is the parent who stays. They renew, and they bring the next family with them.

One app, many roles

Everyone opens the same app.
Everyone sees a different school.

A guide should never wade through the whole school to find her class. A driver should see the van, not the fee ledger. Montigo shows each person exactly their slice, and quietly hides the rest.

    We build with you

    Brick by brick, with real schools.

    Montigo is not built in an office and shipped at you. It is built on a floor, at a real school, alongside guides and directors. We ship what schools actually ask for, in the order they ask for it.

    Some of it is early. Here is what we are shaping right now, with the schools using Montigo today. If your school needs something that is not here yet, that is exactly the conversation we want.

    ● Building now
    Observation slot booking
    You open the observation slots, parents book one, first come first served. No more calling every family to find a time.
    ● Building now
    Interest forms
    Post a simple form, parents answer, replies land in one place. Events, programs, admissions interest.
    ● Very early
    Food & meals
    The week's menu, plus a note on how each child ate. So “did she eat today?” is answered before it is asked.
    ● Very early
    Tap-in attendance
    A card tapped at the gate marks a child in, hands-free.
    The small first step

    See it on your own school's day.

    No install, no commitment. You show us your day, we show you the part of Montigo that fits it.
