MONTESSORI ACADEMY

Ages: 2-6
Hours: 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m.
Since 1967, Spring Bilingual Montessori
Academy (SBMA) has protected and
encouraged children, and at the same
time challenged and stretched them to the
limits of their intellect and imaginations.
Children arrive at SBMA as two year olds,
barely out of diapers, and leave after
kindergarten at the age of six: confident,
assured and well-educated, possessing
qualities of mind and character which
serve them well as they continue to
learn and achieve. Within the walls of
our school children become literate and
numerate. They develop pride in their own
accomplishments and respect for the
talents of their classmates. This is, above
all, where children learn how it feels to do
one’s best work, and to have the effort as
well as the product recognized
and celebrated.
