Enrolling up to 325 students, toddler through grade 8, Greenspring Montessori School has served the greater Baltimore area since 1962. In 2014 it embarked on a facilities-driven Capital Project and Campaign to strengthen and enhance its educational environment through major improvements to its historic seven-acre campus.
With three phases complete to date, and phase 4 preparing to commence, KSC guided all project elements to completion, helping fulfill the school’s desire to rejuvenate its beloved but aging facilities. The outcome is a safer, healthier, eco-friendly, and cost-effective master planned campus.
“Kevin was instrumental in the creation and success of our Capital Campaign and our new facilities projects. He gave us THE tools to bring a small school's 20-year dream to fruition! He brought in a tremendous wealth of knowledge and shared it all so very willingly.
Kevin's mission is to support Montessori schools in their development and authentic Montessori practice. I have been profoundly grateful and blessed to be able to bring Kevin into the two schools I have led. He has a served as a monumental asset to both schools, providing great intelligence, quick wit, and profound insights and knowledge."
— Tamara Sheesley Balis, Head of School
