Description: Sino International Montessori School is the first English and Mandarin Chinese language immersion Montessori School in Arizona. Our program embraces Montessori principles where learning is based upon a child’s curiosity and love of learning while teaching the two most spoken languages in the world. Our Tempe Montessori school offers a Casa dei Bambini program for ages 2 to 6 years old in Tempe, AZ.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
