Our goal is to provide a high quality Montessori education and to help your child develop the essential knowledge, practical life skills, and strength of character during one of the most formative chapters of life. We nurture curious minds to flourish into respectful, empathetic, and leading role models.
Empire Montessori’s two’s & preschool programs at our Evergreen and Fremont locations are enriched with full immersion bilingual (Mandarin) programs.
Our Philosophy
Montessori Method
The Montessori philosophy embraces the understanding of a child’s “absorbent mind” where from birth through early childhood, our children experience a period of intense mental activity that allows them to absorb learning from their environment without conscious effort, naturally and spontaneously.
Our students are given uninterrupted time to deeply explore and challenge themselves at their individual paces. The Montessori Method observes that children can and will develop inner discipline, self-assurance, and preference for purposeful activity.
The Classroom
Safe, inviting, and purposefully arranged for your child to explore curiosities and independence. Our classrooms are prepared with a full set of scientifically designed Montessori learning materials. These materials cover practical living/independence skills, sensorial exploration, language, and math. You will notice that the overall sounds in the classroom are of the children; adult voices do not predominate.
Hot lunches served daily. Click here to view a sample menu.
Multi-age classrooms
Multi-age classrooms allow for mentorship and mentoring between children. Older children can teach and motivate their younger peers. In doing so, older children gain confidence, leadership skills, & re-solidify their learning. The consistent community allows the child to build trust, which allows them to master their physical environment while building self-esteem.

What People Are Saying
“We were attracted to this school because of the dual-language (English & Chinese) preschool program. Our family does not speak Chinese so we wanted a school that can foster foreign language skill while my daughter was still young. We found the school went above our expectations!
— W M.
“We are so glad that we chose Empire Montessori Preschool Evergreen for our daughter's childcare. Every day we bring her, we feel secure in the knowledge that she will be safe, happy, and cared for in good hands. She's under the wonderful care of the leadership (May & Carol) as well as her teachers (Pan Pan, Manjeet, and Janet). They are very attentive and diligent and partner with us in our daughter's development.”
— Lydia H.
“The curriculum is amazing my son has has little jobs that he has to do and cleans up after, he's learning how to draw circles on his own and he's not even 3 yet! I love that they he is learning Chinese as I feel it is very important for him to know a second language.”
