Why us

Why Bamboo Montessori

We are a place that meets our children where they are — with close attention to every child's individual development.

Authentic Montessori method

Over 16 years of hands-on experience with the Montessori method, plus a teacher on our team holding two international Montessori diplomas (AMI and AMS) — not loose inspiration, but confirmed, authentic qualifications.

An individual approach

We treat every child as an individual, respecting their own pace of development.

A bilingual environment

In every classroom, at least one teacher speaks to the children only in English, all day long — like Cui Yan, our English-speaking teacher — not just during set-aside language lessons.

A team that keeps growing

Our teachers regularly build on their qualifications, grounded in current pedagogical knowledge and developmental psychology.

Our team

Meet the teachers who are with your child every day

Real qualifications and real experience — not just on paper, but in the classroom every day.

Xi Wenjuan

Founder & Director

I am the Founder and Director of Bamboo Montessori and a Montessori educator with over 16 years of experience working with children in bilingual English and Chinese environments. I hold both AMI (0–3) and AMS (3–6) Montessori diplomas, along with a Diploma in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about supporting children in developing independence, confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. I believe every child deserves to be respected, understood, and given the freedom to grow at their own pace. Through authentic Montessori education and a carefully prepared environment, I strive to create meaningful learning experiences that nurture each child's academic, social, and emotional development while helping them reach their full potential.

Anna

Teacher · leading language Polish

I hold a Master's degree from the Krakow University of Economics and have completed professional nursery caregiver training as well as specialized Montessori courses. With 12 years of experience working with children in Spain and Poland, I am passionate about creating a calm, nurturing, and carefully prepared environment where young children can develop independence, confidence, and a love of learning. Fluent in both Polish and Spanish, I believe in supporting each child's unique developmental journey through respect, gentle guidance, and meaningful Montessori experiences that foster curiosity, resilience, and joy in learning.

Aleksandra

Teacher · leading language English

I hold a Master's degree from Jagiellonian University and have been working with young children in nursery and preschool settings since 2019. For the past three years, I have been part of the Bamboo Montessori team, where I continue to deepen my understanding of Montessori-inspired, child-centered education. I believe that children thrive when they are treated with patience, kindness, and respect, and I am passionate about supporting their growing independence, confidence, and love of learning. Through clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and engaging learning experiences, I strive to create a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, capable, and encouraged to explore the world around them. As a mother of two daughters, I also bring valuable personal insight into the joys and challenges of supporting children's development.

Katarzyna

Teacher · leading language Polish

I have completed certified nursery caregiver training, including first aid certification, and bring seven years of experience working with young children. I am passionate about supporting children through Polish language activities and creating a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where they feel secure, valued, and encouraged to grow. Inspired by the Montessori philosophy, I foster independence, confidence, and self-care skills through everyday experiences, respectful guidance, and meaningful interactions. I believe that each child deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention as they develop at their own pace. As a mother of two grown children and a grandmother, I also bring valuable life experience and a deep understanding of the importance of providing loving, consistent care during a child's earliest years.

Cui Yan

Teacher · leading language English

I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care from Chung Chou University of Science and Technology in Taiwan and bring over seven years of experience working with young children in Singapore. I am passionate about creating an engaging and inclusive learning environment where children feel respected, supported, and encouraged to explore their unique potential. I believe that every child learns differently and thrives through meaningful relationships, positive guidance, and hands-on experiences. As a bilingual speaker of English and Mandarin, I enjoy supporting children's communication skills, confidence, and independence while building strong connections with families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
