Evergreen Christian Montessori
PRESCHOOL - FEDERAL WAY , WA - EST . 2001
Six rich subject areas woven together in a prepared environment that follows the child.
What Your Child Will Learn
Language Arts
Children develop phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and early reading and writing skills through Montessori language materials — sandpaper letters, movable alphabet, and story time.
Mathematics
Montessori math materials make abstract concepts concrete. Children learn numbers, quantities, addition, subtraction, and even early multiplication through hands-on work with beads, rods, and counting materials.
Science & Botany
Children explore the natural world through botany, zoology, and simple science experiments. Our garden provides a living classroom where children observe plants, insects, and the changing seasons firsthand.
Geography & Culture
Using Montessori puzzle maps, flags, and cultural materials, children develop a sense of the world — learning about continents, countries, landforms, and the rich diversity of human culture.
Arts & Music
Creative expression is celebrated at ECM. Children enjoy art projects, music, dance, and dramatic play. Our annual graduation performance showcases their creativity and growing confidence.
Bible & Character
Our Christian foundation is woven throughout the day. Children learn Bible stories, practice kindness, gratitude, and service, and develop the character qualities that will guide them through life.
