Quotes from Parents

"We believe strongly that the Montessori preschool/kindergarten experience has provided a strong foundation in reading, math, science, art, music, and history. It has helped make our girls independent learners and prepared them for the transition to elementary school."

"When I pick him up in the afternoons, he is often buzzing about what activities he has planned for himself for the next day. He has become quite a scientist and nature lover thanks to the varied curriculum in his classroom."

"I have been volunteering in the Mukilteo schools for the past eight years, and I have worked as a teacher in the Everett schools, I know he will be ready for the transition from Montessori kindergarten into a public first grade classroom."

"The kids from Mukilteo Montessori are some of our best prepared kids in knowing how to work independently and with minimal teacher direction."
