Our preschool & kindergarten embraces the pedagogy of Montessori education while promoting openness and acceptance of diverse cultures and values. We encourage a sense of self-worth and equality for all. A Montessori education values children's intrinsic instinct to learn and prepares a learning environment to develop the whole child-physically, socially, emotionally, cognitively.

I highly recommend [PAABM] and most importantly, I feel the teachers and staff really cares about their students. It was a tough decision to send her to school during the pandemic but it is clear to us that it was the right choice for our family. Her gross and fine motor skills, verbal communication and general interest and care in her environment have been noticeably improved since starting at school and we have been very happy here!

Ms. Virginia is a dedicated Montessorian teacher with over 30 years of experience. She specializes in teaching children practical life skills and culture. Each week she designs her curriculum to inspire students' curiosity, confidence, and character. Ms. Elis has spent over 15 years studying and working with special education and early childhood development and education.
We focus on each child's cognitive, emotional, social and physical development. Children learn self respect, respect for others, and respect for their surroundings and develop the love for learning. During circle time, each program will have their corresponding native speaking teachers teaching the same theme throughout the day.
We provide activity materials for each week. These materials include digital books, worksheets, crafts and more. Our teachers carefully select engaging and educational materials that follow along with each class. Our students enjoy interacting together and showing off their art, toys and projects. Children learn so much just from each other!

We love this school. We are doing virtual classes for our preschooler. The teachers are great, and she’s learning a lot. I think she’ll be ready for kindergarten next year thanks to the classes.

My son has had a wonderful experience when being in this preschool during 2020-2021. He loves to go to school every day and the teachers. Now my son has moved to kindergarten, but still missed the preschool very much.

We have had our son enrolled since he was two year and a half old and We absolutely love it!
We toured other schools in the area and were not impressed. One of the other facilities had a very basic (and crowded) classroom where the staff person giving the tour said "Well with the babies it's just mostly about maintenance at their age". I did not want a school that thought of the babies as who just napped, ate and needed diaper changes. I wanted a school where he was engaged and stimulated.
This preschool has everything we were looking for - a real school curriculum, full featured facilities,

My daughters(5y & 2y) love this school during our 2-month short visit. With caring teachers, spacious classroom and playground, this is definitely a hidden gem as a bilingual preschool.

Teachers are full of love and care. Both of my kids attended it. I like the extended hours 8 am to 6:30 pm and nutritious lunch menu. A lot more activities such as clay arts and martial arts during summer camp period. Free two weeks absence once you completed one year program, sibling discount and referee discount.

A wonderful loving preschool. My kids enjoy going to school every day and they have also learnt so much (math, Chinese, songs, poems, ...). I would highly recommend this preschool without hesitation.
