Welcome to Olympic View Montessori We are a Montessori pre-school and kindergarten located in Edmonds,Washington. We feel that the immediate goal of early childhood education should be to instill in young children a love of learning and an internal desire to seek knowledge and understanding of our world. We believe that a Montessori environment encourages a sense of self-confidence and self-discipline along with a sense of responsibility. These qualities enable children to develop their ability to concentrate, make choices, enjoy quiet, be independent and successfully participate in a community. Contact us and schedule a visit to find out if a Montessori education is right for your child! For enrollment in Olympic View Montessori—whether for the current school year or the upcoming school year beginning in September—children must be 2.5 years old by their start date.
If your child is 2.5 years old, they must also meet the following readiness criteria: • Independently potty trained • Able to communicate verbally to express needs and follow directions • Not taking naps if applying for full‑day attendance Readiness for full‑day enrollment is determined by the school. If a child is not yet consistently meeting these readiness standards, the school may require a part‑time schedule until full‑day attendance becomes developmentally appropriate. For questions, please contact our school directress, Kait Graham, at [email protected]. "The secret to good teaching....
...is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination. Our aim therefore is, not merely to make the child understand, and still less force him to memorize, but so touch his imagination as to inflame his enthusiasm to the inmost core." – Dr. Maria Montessori |
