Our school has been in operation since 1988. We are privately owned and licenced by the Ministry of Education of Ontario. Our main goal is to educate the whole child in a calm, secure and happy environment. As a Montessori school we feel it is necessary for a child to begin his/her educational journey in an atmosphere which nurtures the love of learning. The classroom offers many experiences through the use of math, language, sensorial and practical life skills. Each child’s individual needs are met through the use of these materials. We offer a variety of programs to meet the needs of every child through the use of Montessori equipment and the guidance of trained staff. Half and full day programs are available to children from two to five years of age. A full day junior and senior kindergarten program as well as a two and three day programs are also available. There is an option for three year old children to attend a full day program as well. Programs sessions begin in September and end in mid/June.
