My two boys have been through the infant class, early preschool, and preschool classes. We’ve had great teachers. Best of all, they enjoy going to school! Randi My 3 1/2 year old son came from an in-home daycare to Evergreen Academy Kirkland and loved it right away! I’ve had the opportunity to watch him in the toddler class when he was 2, and the teachers really helped me get him potty trained. Once he turned 3, we moved him to the early pre-k program which he is thriving in! He is learning Spanish, can count to 30, and knows all of the different sounds each letter of the alphabet make. I highly recommend this school. Jessica The care my son receives is excellent. The teachers are always welcoming and kind. It is evident that they are genuinely excited to see my son and that they care about his well-being, growth, and development. Evergreen Academy is a safe, caring, and enriching environment. My son has thrived here. Charlie The communication between staff and parents about school operations and your child’s daily development is great. The teachers and assistants are friendly and engaging with both parents and children. This preschool offers a robust educational and recreational environment that we could not be more pleased with. Brianne The interactions that my wife and I have with teachers and leadership have all been positive. I’m always impressed at how clean and organized everything is. My son is very happy at drop-off each day, which speaks volumes about his child care experience. Dan Watch your child grow Our main goal is making sure your child is happy and ready for what comes next. The “magic” of Montessori is hands-on learning, which helps to build your child’s confidence and independence. When our students have these traits, they are more likely to try new things and face new challenges! At our school, we encourage every child to explore their passions, solve real problems, and become self-motivated learners. Whether they are learning to read or practicing their self-help skills, we are there to support them every step of the way. Explore Our Programs Infants Toddlers Primary (3-6 years) After School The Key Elements of Montessori: Mixed-Age Classrooms In Montessori schools, children of different ages learn together in the same classroom. Older students can help the younger ones, and younger children can learn by watching and working with the older children. It is like having a big family in the classroom! Children make friends, learn from each other, and create a strong community. They also stay with the same teacher for several years. This helps the teacher develop a strong bond with each child and understand what they need to grow and learn. Uninterrupted Work Time Montessori students have long, uninterrupted periods of time to work with materials that meet their interests. This gives them the chance to focus deeply on their work and learn at their own pace. They can take their time, be creative, and solve problems without feeling rushed. The 3-hour work period allows the children to fully engage in what they are doing, helping them build concentration and develop important skills. It also lets them enjoy the learning process without having to stop and switch to something else too quickly. Montessori Materials Our students enjoy expressing themselves and learning about creativity. They explore music, painting, acting, and dancing. This helps them appreciate beauty and discover their own unique ways to be creative. Highly Trained Teachers Montessori teachers receive unique training. They watch their students to see what they are interested in and when they are ready to learn something new. This helps teachers give lessons at just the right time. It makes learning exciting and meaningful for each child. Teachers also help their students become independent by allowing them to do things on their own. They know just how much help to give, so their students feel confident and think for themselves. Health, Safety, and Communications At Evergreen Academy Montessori we deeply value safety and trust. Please see all the ways we ensure the safety of our children and regular communications with our families.
