  Mr. Connor and Mr. Madan have been taking care of my son in the class and have such wonderful Teachers. Right from emotional care to academics, everything has been on track for my son. It’s been wonderful having these 2 around him.

  Miss Fatima has been such a gift to our family this year. She is patient, kind, and truly attentive to each child’s needs. Our daughter feels safe, happy, and excited to go to school every day, and that says everything. She creates a warm classroom environment where learning feels fun and natural. We’ve seen so much growth — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. We are so grateful for her dedication, care, and the heart she puts into teaching

  Our experience at Evergreen Academy Montessori has been wonderful. Ms. Karen and Ms. Brooke in the infant room are incredibly attentive, kind, and attuned to each child’s needs. Ms. Sara and Ms. Emma in the toddler room share the same qualities and are well adept at keeping the toddlers engaged and safe as they learn to walk and explore. The administrative team is also wonderful, communicative, and truly care about the wellness of their students and their families.

  We’ve had a wonderful experience so far in our first year at Evergreen Montessori in Kirkland. Our daughter is in Miss Katherine’s primary class and has had both Mr. Issac and Miss Sudah as assistants and loves each of them. She frequently wants to show them things she’s made at home that reflect what she is learning and tells us all about what they’ve taught her. We were previously with a national daycare and have noticed a positive shift in our daughter’s energy from being in the routine nature of the Montessori. We also appreciate the clear, frequent communication from principal Monica and the readily accessible support from Marina at the front office. The team does a great job all around and we look forward to enrolling our son their later this year as well.

  We enrolled our child here because it was a Montessori school that valued child-led learning, emotional development, and flexibility. Unfortunately, that is no longer what this school represents. Since the change in leadership, the culture and philosophy have shifted dramatically. The current approach feels rigid, outdated, and misaligned with modern early-childhood education especially for 4–5-year-olds. One example: all children are required to be completely quiet or sleep from 12–2 pm in darkened rooms with curtains closed. There is no alternative for children who no longer nap, no quiet play room, no outdoor time, no movement. Expecting young children to remain silent for two hours is unrealistic and developmentally inappropriate. Previously, the school accommodated non-nappers; that option no longer exists. We also experienced repeated labeling of our child as having “bad behavior,” including statements suggesting his behavior was unprecedented in decades of teaching. This was especially troubling because these issues did not exist at home, and after transferring to a new school, they disappeared entirely. We used to have him come home because he had an accident at school, but now after pulling him out, there has been none of that happening. In a supportive environment, our child is happy, engaged, and thriving. Rather than working collaboratively with us or adapting to children’s needs, the school relied on punitive structure and outdated beliefs (including the claim that today’s children are no different than children from 20 years ago). That perspective alone was a red flag. If you are looking for a strict, quiet, compliance-based daycare, this may be a fit. There are no qualified "Montessori educated" teachers left in this school (maybe just one), If you are seeking a true Montessori environment that respects child development, emotional needs, and individuality, this is no longer that school. We wish we had known this before enrolling, and hope this helps other parents make an informed decision.
