At Glacier Montessori, we believe in nurturing every child through a rich, inclusive, and bilingual Montessori experience. From sliding scale tuition to AMI-certified teachers and innovative language programs, we are committed to creating a learning environment where every child thrives.
Our bilingual immersion classrooms offer instruction in both English and Spanish, led by fluent teachers who integrate both languages into daily lessons, conversations, songs, and stories.
Children are encouraged to use both languages in a natural and supportive environment, helping them gain confidence and communication skills. Our immersive approach prepares children—whether English or Spanish is their first language—for success in elementary school and beyond.
We’re proud that many of our Spanish-speaking students transition into public schools without needing additional language support.
Glacier Montessori is the only Montessori school in the valley offering a sliding scale tuition model for working-class families. Our goal is to make high-quality Montessori education accessible and inclusive for families from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
This diversity enriches the classroom experience and helps children learn empathy, cooperation, and respect for others.

Our Bilingual Reading Program runs three times a week for older students. Each child receives one-on-one instruction with trained reading specialists and volunteers, working on literacy in both Spanish and English.
We start with the child’s home language, helping them master foundational reading skills before introducing their second language.
This approach supports long-term literacy and helps children become confident, bilingual readers.
