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.

Experiential learning and play

Through hands on materials, children are able to have concrete experiences of abstract concepts. This is what neuroscience refers to as, "building a better brain."
