Bamboo Montessori Preschool, Vancouver | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Bamboo Montessori is what I was looking for because they are community minded, Montessori, have strong communication with families, professional & accountable, and second language immersion learning. As a teacher, I was looking for a preschool that implemented best practices and supports the kids individuality. My son is gifted and needed to be academically challenged… Montessori activities, learning Spanish, and how to be a compassionate citizen was a great fit. My son is 4, reading and writing in English and Spanish. Alejandra and Sandra care about the kids like they are their own. They will do what is best for the child including communication with the families… Because it takes a village. Their reviews of each child are individualized and in depth. The teachers are always up-to-date by doing early learning research and professional development with child specialists (behavioral, cognitive, social). They are very professional and intentionally plan ahead for the needs of the students while allowing flexibility for student interests. Alejandra always gives me great advice with specific tips but is very open and responsive to our families diverse needs. It is refreshing to find an educational preschool that focuses on life-skills and actually implements best practice while coaching families to be the other pillar holding the child up for opportunity. My son has built many lifelong skills here in addition to a second language! I highly recommend Bamboo Montessori.

We are now in our fourth year at Bamboo with our 2nd child in kindergarten and our 3rd child entering his first full year. Our 1st child completed three years here and is now in 2nd grade at another Montessori. With no pressure or expectations on our part, she graduated Bamboo reading at a 3rd grade level! So I can say without a doubt that we love this place and all it has to offer. We have seen how Alejandra and her wonderful staff adapted to each child fostering their strengths by giving them a space that is full of love and attention. The daily routine is well balanced with free play time outdoors and guided learning indoors. In between all that is extensive opportunities to learn how to work with others teaching grace, courtesy and most importantly inclusion.
Alejandra has a passion for the development of the child like no other. She sees the potential in each child and by the time they leave the school they have developed into a well rounded child ready to take on first grade and beyond often times ahead of their peers. The instruction in Spanish is a bonus for us since we already love and believe in the Montessori method. If you’re looking for a wonderful community to have your child(ren) grow in, look no further.
