Montessori Garden is located in the Green Lake Neighborhood at 419 NE 70th Street in Seattle, Washington.
Amy and Megan have been working together at the Montessori since 1998. When their director/mentor was ready to retire, they jumped at the perfect opportunity to take the reigns and make the business their own. They bought the business outright in 2010. Despite taking ownership of the business during the Great Recession, they have retained a strong partnership and commitment to their school and to grow as business owners, partners, and friends.
At Montessori Garden our aim is to help children ages 3–6 become self-confident individuals. The school is organized to allow the child to move freely in an environment which has been specially prepared by a certified Montessori Teacher. As Montessori teachers, our method is observation; to see and understand each child and to teach skills utilizing each child’s interests and talents. We provide an attractive child-sized environment where a child is free to discover how to learn. We know that learning is fun and we promote a disciplined environment where children can work and play together with joy and spontaneity. All Montessori teachers and classroom assistants have been trained and/or certified in the Montessori method through the American Montessori Society.

“A Montessori classroom is a child-size laboratory which allows children to explore at their age appropriate level and pace.”
Montessori Garden provides two daily snacks as well as lunch for each child. We are not a “no nut” facility, but are fully capable of providing alternatives for children with food allergies and sensitivities. We ask that any family that requires food accommodations provide the proper paperwork and medical documentation.
It is our mission to provide a healthy full day experience for children in our care. All children rest each day. Following lunch all children will have a rest. The school provides a bedroll for children to use each day.
We feel strongly about standing for our community, and making sure everyone’s needs are met. We maintain a sanitary and clean environment. We use green cleaning products and reusable washcloths. We have a strong belief in conservation and sustainability and have the children assist in certain chores that help encourage their participation as a citizen of the school and the community as a whole.
Our school is located at 419 NE 70th Street in the Green Lake Neighborhood of Seattle. We have a keycode locked door. Please knock or ring the bell and a staff member will let you in.
