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.
