Alpha Montessori

I can not express enough how great this school is. My son attended for a year before he entered Kindergarten. The teachers are wonderful and you can tell they truly love their jobs and the kids. The teachers are amazing! Miss Kathy runs this school like a well oiled machine. Communication is great, expectations for parents and children are clear. Not only did my son learn a lot academically he matured so much emotionally and socially. He attended another Montessori school before Alpha, and I am forever grateful we made the switch. It is the greatest feeling as a parent to know you are leaving your child with safe, caring, supportive people when you drop them off at school. My son is thriving in kindergarten and a huge part of the transition being successful was because of the love and care he received at Alpha. Our time at Alpha has left a positive imprint on our lives forever. I highly recommended this school.

Alpha played a pivotal role in the early development in my daughter’s love of learning. Now age 7, she said today, «Mom, I love to read. Once you learn to read you just get better and better. It’s so cool!»
This zest for knowledge ultimately began under the tutelage of Miss Kathy and the rest of the fantastic, loving teachers at Alpha Montessori. She thrived with the structured, creative environment there. Such a great place for us. I knew it then and appreciate it even more so now, several years later!

We could not be happier with this school. This is not a strict Montessori as some out there but it seems to be a great blend of Montessori education combined with a fun and loving atmosphere. Kathy runs a tight ship and ensures that the children are challenged and well-​prepared for Kindergarten. The teachers are all so loving and really appreciate the children for who they are. We’ve had 2 very different children attend this school and we observed that the teachers adapted their methods to tailor to each of them. The teachers also really work on helping to children to make friends and to learn social skills which is so important at this age. Both my children loved their school!

After moving back to the Seattle area, we were very happy to find Alpha. Our son has thrived there. The staff are excellent.

My four year old daughter has been attending Alpha Montessori for the last six months. So far, we couldn‘t be happier with the results! She‘s learning to write, read, count, and do basic math. However, the manners and independence are what most amaze us. These skills are gently encouraged at her school and the behavior carries over into her home life.
Great teachers, great school, we‘re so lucky to have this option for our child.

This a great school! Ms. Kathy, Ms. Lissa and the rest of the wonderful staff make this a very loving place for our daughter. My daughter has learned a lot and is already reading at 1^st and 2^nd grade level; she has tremendous confidence in everything she does. The school is very diverse, which I liked. Ever year, they have 2 weeks dedicated to learning about different cultures around the world. The kids have a very good sense of various cultures and which countries fall under which continents. The school also offers piano classes and a tumble bus comes there every Friday. They also do parent night out once a month which we enjoy. Overall, this is a great school and we’re very happy our daughter has flourished!

We are thrilled with Alpha Montessori. The teachers are amazing and our daughter has grown so much at the school. I can’t think of anywhere else I would rather have her attend.

Kathy, Ms. Lissa, Ms. Faosiyah and the rest of the teachers are amazing. My daughter had an absolutely wonderful experience here. We were at a different Montessori school up until the beginning of 2011 with mixed results. Once we switched, I realized that THIS school is what Montessori should be all about. The teachers are warm and caring, yet push the students to help them achieve their ultimate potential. My daughter LOVED going to school and we were extremely sad to leave (due to moving out of state). I would highly highly recommend Alpha Montessori to any parent looking for a pre-​K program. To top it all off, the school is extremely affordable and caters to working parents (i.e. no long mid-​semester breaks, etc). Definite two thumbs up!

I cannot tell you enough how much we love this preschool. My oldest daughter is just finishing up her second year, and my younger daughter just started. They are incredibly nice and incredibly flexible when you need something, and work with the parents really well. Ms. Kathy is passionate about her work — you can tell that she wants the kids to learn and succeed as much as the parents do. The staff is also very personable and nice, you feel welcomed like part of the family.
I visited a few other preschools, which seemed very crazy and disorderly. When I visited Alpha it was completely different — it was like walking into a fine dining restaurant after visiting some crazy overcrowded McDonald’s. They were very orderly and everyone seemed to know what they should be doing. My daughters have blossomed there, and they love it! And I am more than pleased with their academic progress.

We love Alpha. My daughter is in her second year there. Last fall when her first preschool fell apart at the seams, Ms. Kathy took on my daughter and she just blossomed there. At my daughter’s first preschool, there was very little guidance– some children were even hitting without consequences. Because of this she hadn’t developed the best manners. The teachers at Alpha are lovely, and they really foster an environment of respect, which my daughter picked up right away, thank goodness! They have a very diverse curriculum, and there are lots of opportunities for music and play. My daughter attends the Move Over Mozart elective at the school– she loves it! She’s on her way to learning piano! I look forward to sending my youngest daughter, hopefully next year she can join the fun.

Kathy and her staff are fabulous. My daughter went to Alpha for her entire preschool education and learned a lot at this Montessori school. I looked at over 10 preschools and this was the only one I would send my daughter too. 5 stars all the way!
