Guiding the future within the child
Arbor Montessori is a vibrant learning community in the heart of
Sammamish, where children are empowered to discover their unique
potential through an authentic Montessori approach that nurtures their
natural curiosity, independence, and love of learning in an
academically stimulating and culturally responsive program.
Montessori Education
Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process.
