Best Preschool El Monte Near Me

4worldlovers:
Bright Kids Montessori Academy opened its doors for operation in July 2010. Over the past four years we have proven to the north El Monte communities that our program strives each year to achieve our standards and goals and objectives set for our children there.

We have received strong support from families over the years and each year the Parent Advisory Committee dedicates itself to volunteering as classroom helpers and assistants, raising funds for school equipment and field trips and helping staff prepare and manage school events.

We have a dedicated group of teachers there who have grown to love the community and believe it is their responsibility to prepare its young preschoolers with a wealth of knowledge, skills and confidence to be successful in the years ahead in grades school and beyond.

Our site supervisor has Montessori training, a bachelor’s degree in Child Development and well over ten years experience in working with preschool aged children in various child development settings. She is resolute in her dedication to preserving the Montessori Method, our mission, goals and objectives for our children and the unique combination of our curriculum, Montessori environment and vision for the children we serve. She is further characterized by her intelligence, kindness, caring and patient attitude and demeanor and willingness to work with families from all walks of life that are interested in enrolling their children in our program.

My name is Berenice Marin, I am the Site Supervisor for Bright Kids Montessori Academy.


From May, 2016 until October, 2018 I worked in the classroom as a Lead Teacher. Effective November, 2018 until present I am now the Site Supervisor, I am in charge of supervising and helping the lead teachers plan and carry out the classroom curriculum, arts and music, and supervising indoor and outdoor activities.
