Our Mission
Little Tree Bilingual Montessori School is a bilingual English-Chinese school established in 2004. We follow the principle of “growing in love and learning with fun,” and continually strive for high standards in the quality of our curriculums, facilities and staff.
Our afterschool program is open for children from TK/Kindergarten to 5th grade, with a curriculum incorporating Ma Liping Chinese and MeiZhou Chinese that helps children
learn to listen, speak, read, and write Mandarin. By utilizing interactive multimedia programs, we are able to provide a lively learning environment for students to
learn Chinese.
We also focus on English and a mix of both Singaporean Math (Primary Math) and California Common Core Math that is appropriate for each student’s grade level.
