It is our belief that Montessori Education is beneficial for almost all children. It is our goal at the outset to provide honest and accurate information in order to help you, the parent, choose the education that is best suited to your child and family.

We will offer your children a full or half day education program and before and after care that allows for a 7:00AM to 6:00PM day of care. Our initial enrollment will consist of 20 children ranging in age from 30 months to 6 years. By January 2010 we have a full class of 24 children.
Our teacher will have an AMI Montessori diploma (AMI – Administration Montessori Internationale) recognized around the world and endorsed by the Montessori family. Our teacher will also have Early Childhood Education (ECE) license. Our assistants will have their ECE license or will be in training for this license.
Children aged 2.5 to 6 years possess the incredible and unique ability to absorb all aspects of the environment without effort or fatigue. In order to maximize this ability, a rich physical environment, containing key developmental materials is provided, in which the child is free to undertake the task of self construction.
The Montessori curriculum is very broad based and covers traditional and unique subjects including: Language, Mathematics, Cultural studies, Sciences, Music, Sensorial Materials, Exercises of Life Skills and Development of social behaviour and physical activity.
Your Child will discover the joy of learning and prepare himself/herself for their future academic and social life.
