Beginning Montessori Academy
Providing a high quality Montessori based pre-kindergarten preparation program for preschool aged children
Welcome to the Beginning Montessori Academy. Our services at the Beginning Montessori Academy commenced in March 2001. Since then our program has been received with great enthusiasm by the community. Our program has grown to be recognized and appreciated for its dedication and on-going commitment for providing a high quality Montessori based pre-kindergarten preparation program for preschool aged children.
Parents have always appreciated the program and the special dedication of its staff, and continue to volunteer their time and support daily to display their appreciation. In doing this they also add richness to the classroom and provide a solid foundation which develops a culture around education for their young children.
Many parents return each year with their children who are now alumni of the school to proudly display their wonderful achievements in grade school. Many of them are at the top of their classes and have a level of proficiency in both language and mathematics that is at least one grade higher than the average student.
The Staff
Our families have always expressed their joy and gratitude for the quality of services our staff has provided at this school. Our director, Maryam Saeidy, has earned a Montessori Diploma by an accredited institution and a B.A. in Education. She has a Site Supervisor’s Permit issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and over twenty years of experience teaching preschool children. Our teachers, equally, have a minimum A.A. degree in Child Development and possess a minimum Teacher’s Permit issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The Beginning Montessori Academy and the Baldwin Park community are fortunate to have such a committed, concerned and dedicated team of teachers to care for the developmental needs of their young children – our future leaders.
