Cooking is about bringing people together and sharing love. Cooking together with children accomplishes so many things: from training their senses to motor control, from learning how to follow directions to reading and writing receipes, from sharing quality time to opportunities for words of affirmation, children walk away from cooking together with a sense of warmth and accomplishment. Have you cooked with your kids lately? #montessori #montessorikids... #phillykids #phillybaby #childrencooking #foodlove #mainlineparent #chineseimmersion #philadelphiachineseacademy See more

"Spring: a lovely reminder how beautiful change can truly be." We watch our children change little by little and we see them emerge into the best possible versions that they can be. It's an honor to be part of every child's journey. #Spring #montessori #montessorikids... #phillykids #phillybaby #mainlineparent #chineseimmersion #philadelphiachineseacademy See more

Thehandsare the instruments of man's intelligence. - Maria Montessori We celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival this past week at school. One of the activities that the kids did was to make their very own moon cakes out of home made play dough (courtesy of our wonderful parents) with molds that the children set themselves. It was a very popular activity and produced a lot of proud little humans around the classroom all week! ...... #chineseimmersion #midautumnfestival2020 #happychild #montessori #phillykids #feelingproud #philadelphiachineseacademy See more

Our first professional development session. 2020 has brought many challenges. Opening a new school during this time seems completely crazy to us. But how can we not forge ahead with capturing the wonder years of young children with all the passionate educators and linguistic experts on our staff? It is humbling to learn from each other because our staff bring so much expertise in various areas of life in order to create a wonderfully nurturing environment for our children. Thank you!

Check out our social distancing guided classroom setup. The entire staff has been working incredibly hard on putting together this beautiful classroom. We are so proud of the final work product and are fortunate to have a space that is flooded with light and outside air! Eight (8) windows, three (3)large ceiling fans and our own HVAC system with high quality filters provide a wonderful environment for our children to call this "home" away from home. We are beyond excited to welcome our families

Our classroom music wall. We are so excited to be bringing daily music programming to our students!
