Victoria Education Centre Inc.

Victoria Education Center have been a licensed childcare provider since 1999. The Richmond Hill Campus is an one-acreage campuls locates at a convenient location in the south-east corner of Leslie Street and Major MacKenzie Drive. The second campus is located at Woodbine Avenue and Danforth Ave.

We are committed to invest in your child's future.

At Victoria Education Centre we offer children of all ages the learning experience of a lifetime. Our goals are simple, yet extremely important: To bring out the best in each child, and to help each child reach their true potential. Our progressive teaching methods, sound curriculum developmental strategies and effective classroom management styles, all work in unison to help challenge our students toward reaching these objectives.

We constantly strive to provide a safe, caring, and nurturing environment designed to meet the developmental needs of children beginning from the Toddler to the Elementary levels. As quoted by Dr. Maria Montessori, “Education is a natural process carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words, but by experiences in the environment”. We pride ourselves by consciously being aware of this fact, and aid our students by setting a prepared environment filled with developmentally appropriate hands-on exercises that facilitate the journey down their own individualized path of learning.
