Our Mission

Our mission is to provide our students with a high-quality education in a safe and nurturing environment hence they can succeed academically and socially and become the leaders of future generations.

Our Philosophy

We believe the Montessori method of education is a great way to achieve our mission. This approach is a child-centered methodology based on the idea that children are self-motivated and learn through their senses. Our classrooms are carefully prepared by the teachers with specialized materials that are multi-sensorial and provide control of errors, which allows the child to check their work instead of seeking out the teacher. These qualities help to develop the children's concentration, coordination, sense of order, self-discipline, and independence. Children will learn at their own pace, developing self-esteem and social and emotional skills, preparing them for higher education and building a strong foundation for future learning.

Our School Why Prime Time Montessori

Prime Time Montessori School has two classrooms, one for Toddlers and one for Preschoolers. Being a small size school has many benefits. All the teachers get to know every student, and our children are familiar with all the teachers. It is like a family. We like to pass this warm feeling to our young learners and their parents.

Our teachers carefully prepare their classrooms following the Montessori guidance and tailoring it to their students' needs.

We are preparing our children for the future. We want to give them all the opportunities and expose them to different experiences so they can develop their capabilities and become future leaders. That is why we are integrating STEM into our curriculum because we believe that interacting with science from an early age helps build our children's logical and critical minds and problem-solving skills.

These activities will bring out the curiosity in our children and the willingness to learn and be open to new concepts. All these attributes create the foundations for future learning. Also, we have Spanish and Music as enrichment activities, enhancing creativity, mental flexibility, and memory.

I have been working with kids of different ages for about 7 years. I enjoy witnessing the enthusiasm, curiosity, and joy the toddlers show during the learning process.

Ms. Denisse

Music Teacher

I was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, to a musical family with supportive parents who understood the importance of early exposure to music education. I started piano studies at age 8, and it soon became apparent that I had found my passion and have never stopped playing since. At age 18, I moved to Slovakia for a year, where I continued my piano studies, after which I moved to the USA, where I earned a baccalaureate degree in Leisure Services Management and a German Literature minor from Brigham Young University in Utah. Ever since I moved to Sammamish in 2015, I have enjoyed running my piano studio and intermittently teaching general music lessons to toddlers and preschool-aged children. I find great joy in giving young children the opportunity to develop their rhythm and musicality as an integral part of their education.
