The Eastside Montessori School offers a Primary Montessori program for children 2-1/2 to 6 years that follows the philosophy as set out by the A.M.I. (Association Montessori International).

We are licensed by the State of Washington Department of Early Learning as a School Age Child Care facility.

What is A.M.I?

Association Montessori Internationale, (A.M.I), headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, is the only recognized authority of Montessori education worldwide. The organization was established in 1929 by Dr. Maria Montessori to protect standards and promote the establishment of quality Montessori schools and teacher training centers around the world. Dr. Montessori’s goal was to foster the full development of the human being.

A school or teacher training program that carries the AMI name is continuing the tradition of quality first established by Dr. Montessori, a tradition that incorporates standards based directly on Dr. Montessori’s work.

Teachers with an AMI diploma hold a credential that is internationally recognized by Montessori schools and classrooms around the world.
