About eBridge Montessori School

The name “eBridge” comes from our vision: to build an educational bridge that connects children, families, and educators, creating a supportive community that fosters each child’s optimal development and love of learning.

eBridge Montessori School began with one primary class of 17 children in 2005. Today, eBridge has grown to 12 classrooms, including:

  • One infant classroom for infants aged six weeks to 15 months

  • Five primary classrooms for preschool, pre-K and kindergarten children aged two years and nine months to six years
  • One elementary classrooms for students from first grade to six grade, aged from six years old to 12 years old

This growth reflects our commitment to providing high-quality Montessori education across various developmental stages.

  • Half-day (8:30 am – 12:00 pm)

Our Mission

eBridge Montessori School’s mission is to prepare children for life. We provide the best possible Montessori education for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. Recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), we initiate children’s lifelong learning, empower their social, emotional and intellectual development and prepare them to be independent, responsible and peaceful citizens of the world.

Our Story

eBridge Montessori School was founded in 2005 by Jin Huang, a computer software engineer and a mother of two children. She visited local Montessori Schools when her children were young. Although impressed by the Montessori environment, she couldn’t enroll them due to lack of the morning and after-school care to accommodate her full-time work schedule.

In 2003, the startup company she was working for closed, prompting Jin to reflect on her career path. After careful consideration, Jin decided to dedicate her efforts and energy to Montessori education specifically tailored to working families’ needs.

To gain the best possible Montessori training, Jin enrolled in a year-long AMI primary training in Hartford, CT, approximately 80 miles from her home. With her family’s support, she studied Montessori education, searched for space, hired teachers, purchased materials, hosted parent sessions, and prepared for the school’s opening in the fall of 2005, immediately after completing her training.

  1. In 2005, eBridge opened with 17 children in one primary classroom (Cedar).
