About the School
- Welcome to Amici Trilingual Montessori, a trilingual Montessori preschool in Ahwatukee dedicated to nurturing confident, compassionate, and globally minded children.
- At Amici, students are fully immersed in Mandarin, Spanish, and English during the most critical years of brain development.
- Our Montessori environment encourages independence, concentration, and a love of learning.
- Children work with carefully prepared materials, guided by trained educators who respect each child’s natural curiosity and developmental pace.
- Language learning happens organically throughout the day through conversation, lessons, music, culture, and hands-on exploration.
- At Amici, children do not simply learn new words — they build cognitive flexibility, cultural awareness, and confidence that will benefit them for life.
