Richmond's trilingual Montessori & Reggio Emilia childcare — English, French & Mandarin — for curious minds aged 30 months to 5 years.
Here's how the Montessori difference lives in every morning at Star Academy — not just on paper.
Children choose their own activities from our prepared environment. They count seeds, sort shapes, and build sentences — following their curiosity, guided by our educators. No worksheets. No rote learning.
Explore our curriculumEnglish, French, and Mandarin woven into every activity — not separate subjects. Children absorb languages naturally through songs, stories, and conversation with native-speaking educators.

"The 5:1 ratio means our son gets real individual attention every day. His confidence and Mandarin vocabulary have grown more in 3 months here than anywhere else."
"The once-a-month free lunch day, the optional lunch program, team activities — small touches like these show this school genuinely thinks about families. My daughter asks to go on weekends."
