Children reportedly thrive socially and academically, with parents noting excellent preparation for elementary school and daily engagement in learning activities.
Our son joined this daycare about 6 months ago, and the experience has been wonderful. He quickly made friends, truly loves his teachers, and is excited to go to school every day. The school regularly organizes activities for both parents and kids, which helps build a strong sense of community. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and caring, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the children. Based on our son’s very positive experience, we felt confident enrolling our 2-year-old daughter as well. We’re grateful to have found such a warm and supportive environment for our children and highly recommend this school to other families.
Both of our boys attended EBM since they were 2.5 to 3 years old, and they both absolutely love it there. Both of our children had Ms. Blanca as their primary teacher. As a parent, there are a few things that we absolutely adore about EBM. First and foremost, Ms. Blanca genuinely cares about our children and understands their learning journey. She knows exactly what our children are learning and how to support them in specific areas. Secondly, they serve a delicious hot lunch and healthy snacks daily. Thirdly, the EBM team is incredibly easy to reach out to whenever we have questions about our children or the school. Ms. Sithy, the director, is also open to suggestions and always strives to improve, creating the best school and environment for the children. Lastly, we appreciate the monthly newsletter, which provides us with valuable updates from the teachers about the topics and subjects they are teaching our children that month. Our children seem to learn new things constantly, but they also maintain a healthy balance between their studies and playtime. They have developed excellent social skills and make friends easily at EBM. Both children started as timid and shy, but they have learned to overcome their shyness and make friends. They always come home excitedly sharing the new things they have learned. My oldest child is now a first grader at a local elementary school. Having my first child go through the entire preschool journey and transition into elementary school, I can confidently say that EBM prepared my son exceptionally well for Kindergarten. While each child is unique, my son was well-prepared and possessed all the essential skills required for kindergarten and beyond.
Early Bird Montessori is a wonderful preschool with incredible teachers who care deeply about their students and the school community. Teachers support students to develop skills in socio-emotional learning, independence, cooperation, and so much more. It's a great mix of structure and exploration, and they take safety very seriously. The entire staff is warm, kind, and communicative, and the parent community is lovely and supportive. My children have had wonderful experiences here and we highly recommend it.
Our son has been attending Early Bird Montessori for the past 4 months and we love the teachers, staff, parents, and community there that go above and beyond to create a thoughtful enrichment program. We were impressed with their practicing philosophy of letting toddlers explore independently but in an organized fashion with clear boundaries in place. We receive photo and video updates via app and clear communication via email. Parents are very involved with volunteering to produce fun events, performances, and festivals. Supplemental music and sports classes are available on-site at an additional cost. Our son has been very happy attending school here with his loving teachers and we plan to keep him here as long as we can.
My son started EBM when he was 2.5 years old and it was the best decision ever. He has grown so much during the last two years here, both socially and academically. He has made many friends and love his teachers there. I appreciate the daily/weekly updates from his teachers and their monthly newsletters. I am planning to enroll his younger sister there as soon as she turns 2!
