History
Giving the Best to the Smallest The Eastside Montessori School was established during the summer of 2010. Christine, an AMI trained Montessori guide, had taught in many ideal classrooms and settings throughout Canada, the US and abroad. When she settled back in Seattle she knew she had to start a school dedicated to the optimal development of young children, where families can flourish and be supported in guiding their children the way nature intended. Our community has grown and has strengthened as a result of our dedicatation to the best in each child and their family. We are now in the process of starting an elementary program for Fall 2013.
Specialties
Our child-centered approach to early childhood education is based on Montessori principles as they best meet the needs of young children's natural developmental principles. Our environment fosters a love of learning for life, a community centered approach socializing young children in a loving and supportive environment, and fostering their innate sense of self worth and ability to make a worthy contribution to their society according to their unique abilities. Our Montessori approach is recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) - the highest standard of Montessori principles worldwide. Our specially developed environment for young children includes an AMI trained guide fully educated in the best practices and principles of Montessori education. We currently have 2 classrooms- the primary classroom supports children 2 1/2 years old to 6 years old and the elementary classroom supports children aged 6-12 years old.
