eBridge Montessori School’s mission is to prepare children for life. Through the practice of our core values “Independence, Love, Respect, and Responsibility” we initiate children’s lifelong learning, empower their social, emotional, and intellectual development, and prepare them to be responsible, peaceful citizens of the world.

We provide the best possible educational environment for children from 6 weeks to 9 years old based on Dr. Montessori’s philosophy. Guided by the Association Montessori Internationale, we initiate children’s life long learning, empower their social, emotional and intellectual development and prepare them to be independent, responsible and peaceful citizens of the world. We are committed to supporting a diverse community and building strong partnerships with all our families for the benefit of the children.

Facility

We provide a safe, clean, orderly, peaceful and pleasant environment for our children, parents, staff and visitors. Our bright and spacious classrooms are carefully designed to allow students to work in large/small groups or individually.

Each classroom is equipped with the best quality authentic Montessori materials (from AMI approved vendors). Our furniture is child-sized; our materials are scaled to fit the hands and body of children.

The classrooms are arranged to encourage children to explore in an attractive, calmly and orderly space suited to their developmental needs. Each classroom has a child-sized bathroom and sink area.

We have a large and secure outdoor play area for recess and physical activities.

Non-Discrimination Policy

eBridge Montessori School does not discriminate against any children or their families on the basis of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation or disability. eBridge Montessori School has no religious affiliation.

Parents’ Voices

“I have never seen such a co-operative working environment. Each child working independently was quite impressive. Polishing a box, settling a flower arrangement, not your normal preschool activity. Lots of focusing on their specific task and the least amount of guidance seemed normal. Lots of pride in accomplishment, happy and helpful children.”

“The children appear to be very focused and attentive in the tasks they have undertaken. Most of them also appear to be self-sufficient in putting things away when the exercise or work is complete.”

“Loved watching the children address and solve problems on their own. The older children were such good little teachers. Enjoyed watching a tiny girl working on the pink tower.”

“The children seemed to have gained even more independence compared to the fall observation. I observed Mrs. Peerzade giving a lesson on the decimal system to multiple children. It was great to see how the children worked together in small groups.”

“The kids were terrific-attentive to their work, well behaved, accommodating each other, etc. It was wonderful to see my daughter work with other children. Also saw her guiding younger children and demonstrating leadership.”

“It’s amazing how kids are involved in different activities all by themselves. It’s nice to see older kids helping the younger ones. Most kids tend to finish before switching over to another activity. I really wish they’d clean up the same way at home.”

“This is my second observation; every time I wonder how beautifully it works. Every child seems so disciplined and enjoying freedom at the same time. Even the smallest children are busy and independent.”

“I enjoyed observing in my daughter’s classroom. I was very pleased to see children working on their own, learning skills that will help them in real life. My daughter was cutting celery with a real knife. I never allowed her to use a knife at home and was pleasantly surprised to see how confident she was in the kitchen area. I was pleased to see children practicing math, reading books, practicing things that will help them academically.”

“My son was so focused he didn’t notice me for half of the time [of the observation]. I am surprised how long he could stay on one activity without moving to something else.”

“The classroom is very spacious and kids are choosing work and doing it, without lots of direction. It is very nice to see that.”

“The creativity and intelligence of our classroom teacher is once again manifest to myself and I am so grateful to her vision of inclusion and her passion for history, the sciences, the humanities and the arts. Thanks again for providing a school that enriches all of our lives.”

“The mood in the classroom was peaceful and productive! The collaborative environment is so wonderful and the friendships are great to see. Thank you for guiding our children to be self-directed with reliable organizational skills taught. They are well on their way toward growing into competent, caring, directed adults with happy spirits and the academics to back them in whatever they do with their bright futures.”
