Welcome to Evergreen Montessori Academy
At Evergreen Montessori Academy, our mission is to create a dynamic learning environment that harmoniously blends Montessori principles with Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP). We believe that children learn best through exploration, creativity, and hands-on experiences, and we are dedicated to fostering a love of learning that is both joyful and purposeful.
Our unique approach combines the structured independence of Montessori with the imaginative freedom of play, allowing children to develop essential skills at their own pace while engaging in activities that spark curiosity and enthusiasm. Guided by educators who are deeply attuned to the developmental needs of young children, we provide a nurturing space where each child is encouraged to explore their interests, express their creativity, and build strong social and emotional foundations.
We are committed to cultivating a community where children feel valued, respected, and inspired to discover their own paths. By integrating the best of Montessori and play-based education, we prepare our students to become confident, compassionate, and curious individuals, equipped with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Our Core Principals
- Child-Centered Learning: Activities are tailored to each child’s developmental stage, interests, and learning style.
- Hands-On Exploration: Emphasis on sensory experiences and manipulative materials.
- Independence: Encouraging self-directed learning and decision-making.
- Social-Emotional Development: Focus on empathy, cooperation, and emotional intelligence.
- Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP): Incorporating imaginative play, storytelling, and creative arts.
Well, today my daughter “graduated” from Evergreen and is moving on to TK. She was at the school from 2020-2023. Although ownership has changed, many of the teachers have been with my daughter from the start, or for quite a while, and the staff is very stable and consistent. We stayed at Evergreen because ultimately we trusted the staff who have been fantastic. Both very caring towards our daughter, while also providing her with proper guidance. The school is not a large building and as a result you often see the same kids/parents and it forms a nice community. Our daughter formed really wonderful friendships with her classmates. I think she is very well prepared for the next step at TK and Evergreen helped provide a great foundation for her.
It’s amazing to see the pictures and remember how much she has grown and matured while at the school. It was sad to see her move on, but I guess that means its truly been a wonderful experience.
