Kalispell Montessori Elementary
In 2019 KME took over the management of the Cino when the godfathers retired. The event now serves as a major fundraiser for the non-profit school. Montessori philosophy embraces a child-centered approach to education that is very different from traditional models. Teachers carefully consider each student’s individual needs and developmental readiness. The tool of observation is used to follow the child and meet every individual’s academic, social, emotional and physical needs. Basically, the Montessori method calls us to nurture “the whole child.”

Glacier Cyclery is a bicycle shop in the old tradition, staffed by individuals who love bicycles and have long experience with them. They sell and service the most modern of bicycles, but also have the increasingly rarer, esoteric experience (and tools) to deal with “cino” bikes.
