Beautiful Minds Montessori School is a non-denominational Montessori School licensed by the Ministry of Education, Early Learning Division. Offering one toddler class (18 mos - 3 yrs), two Casa classes (2.5 - 5 yrs); one full day class and one part day class; and before/after school care (6-12 yrs) for students attending local public schools. We will cater to students attending Princess Elizabeth (bus stop pick-up), Quatre - Rivieres and Parkinson Centennial (both within walking distance). We also offer camp programs over Winter break, March break and Summer (for students 18 mos - 12 yrs).
We offer an educational alternative to traditional daycare, private and public school (prek and JK/SK) environments. Beautiful Minds Montessori also plans to expand into an elementary program, as the need arises.
Beautiful Minds Montessori promotes an active, hands-on approach to learning that supports a lifetime of excellence. Within our carefully prepared environment, children are constantly stimulated through their own natural desires for knowledge. As a result, our students develop a passion for learning. This enables them to become confident and follow a path of discovery, respecting the people and world around them.
Children are the most precious part of our present life and they are the world's future generation. We should also remember - when we want to build a better world and better future, we definitely should start with our children - the future of the world.
