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

Prime Time Montessori School has three classrooms, one for Toddlers and two for Preschoolers. Being a medium 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.

Prime Time Montessori School is proud member of the American Montessori Society and the Pacific Northwest Montessori Association.

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.

It's encouraging to see my young students immersed and fully engaged in the learning that our nurturing environment has to offer.

Ms. Sam

Preschool Assistant Teacher

I’m a Preschool Assistant Teacher. I love working with kids and have previously led summer camps and kids’ art classes. I’ve always been especially interested in visual art and attended two years of art college. I spend a lot of my free time painting and drawing, always while listening to music. My dream is to become an elementary school teacher! I find working with kids to be so rewarding because I feel like we teach each other. It’s amazing how children absorb information and creatively apply what they’ve learned. I’m very grateful to be a part of that process.

Ms. Victoria

Assistant Teacher

I’m one of the assistant teachers, and I’ve always had a big heart for little ones and a deep passion for helping them grow and thrive. Whether it’s teaching new skills, playing games, or simply being a comforting presence, I love being around children and supporting them in meaningful ways. Working with kids of all ages has taught me so much, especially about patience, creativity, and the importance of building strong, nurturing, and safe relationships. Outside of work, I enjoy anything that lets me express myself, listening to music, spending time with friends and family. I also love to travel!

These opportunities have taught me the importance of patience, kindness, and creating a safe, nurturing environment for every child. I especially enjoy working with toddlers because I love supporting their early learning, independence, and confidence. My approach is child‑centered, and I look forward to partnering with families and the school team to help each child grow and thrive.

Ms. Nayana

Assistant Teacher

I am an Assistant Teacher, an Indian classical dance instructor, and a lifelong learner with nearly two decades of teaching experience. My background in dance and law has strengthened my observation, communication, and critical‑thinking skills—qualities that deeply support early childhood education. After relocating to the United States and becoming a mother, I gained a richer understanding of childhood. I’m excited to bring my experience in education, creative movement, communication, and child‑centered learning into a Montessori environment where children grow as independent, curious, confident, and joyful learners.

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.
