About us

At Everbloom Montessori we know that children learn more fully and deeply when they are allowed to initiate learning at their own pace. Authentic Montessori in practice fosters each child’s independence, self-care, care for others and the environment through grace and courtesy. The teacher, in the Montessori classroom, is a well prepared guide available to assist the child in furthering development and understanding. Everbloom Montessori is committed to ensuring our employees represent our diverse school community and to creating an inclusive workplace environment welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
