What Parents Are Saying
Jenn Monk
Our family has been extremely happy at the quality of care and education our son has received at EBMS. He looks forward to school every day, and he comes home excited to share with us what he is learning. Ms. Sithy understands that small children need to move and play, and she seems to have found the perfect balance of work and play time for the children. Our son will be going to Kindergarten in the fall, and he is more than prepared, both socially and academically, thanks to EBMS!

We are attending EBMS for 2 years now, our daughter is almost 5 years old and she just loves it!!! She even asked to stay for the afternoon program since she has so much fun there. Teacher's love and care, interesting projects and different levels of an academic education they introduce to each child based on their own unique progress are very impressive and amazing. I would never think that our daughter can possibly learn so much in her early age in reading, writing, spelling, math, geography and other languages such as Spanish and Chinese.

Our son was going to Early Bird Montessori for last three years. He loved it. All the teachers were really nice especially Ms Sithy and Ms Aiza.

Got Questions?
Montessori education is based on self-directed and hands-on learning. Mixed age groups are seen in Montessori classrooms. This allows older students to mentor younger children and develop various skills. Lastly, Montessori classrooms are thoughtfully designed to cater to students’ individual needs, abilities, and interests.
Traditional education is a teacher directed curriculum with the aid of lectures, textbooks, and exams. Single age groups are seen in traditional classrooms and children learn the same lessons. Children learn through memorization and the success of students are determined through test scores.
We require all parents to first schedule a tour in our facility. Open houses are typically scheduled at the beginning of the year in preparation for the following school year.
