“The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man’s intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence; the full totality of his psychic powers.”

Why Montessori Preschool

Individualized Learning

Montessori preschools prioritize individualized learning experiences tailored to each child’s unique interests, abilities, and learning pace. Unlike traditional programs, which often follow a standardized curriculum, Montessori educators observe and guide children based on their developmental needs, fostering a deep and personalized learning journey.

Hands-on Learning and Exploration

Montessori classrooms are carefully designed environments that encourage hands-on exploration and discovery. Children have access to a wide range of specially designed materials that promote sensorial exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. This hands-on approach fosters a deeper understanding of concepts and encourages a love for learning from an early age.

Promotion of Independence and Responsibility

Montessori education places a strong emphasis on fostering independence, self-discipline, and responsibility in children. Through opportunities for self-directed learning and practical life activities, such as cleaning, cooking, and caring for the environment, children develop essential life skills and a sense of confidence in their abilities. This focus on independence not only prepares children for academic success but also for success in all areas of life.

Overall, Montessori preschool programs offer a holistic approach to early childhood education that nurtures the whole child, fostering intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development in a supportive and enriching environment.

We stand out from traditional preschools through our unwavering dedication to authentic Montessori education, fueled by our co-founders’ extensive training and expertise. As locally owned Educators deeply embedded in the Calgary community, we bring a personalized touch to every aspect of our program, ensuring each child receives the attention and support they deserve. Our commitment to hands-on learning, individualized instruction, and fostering a love of discovery cultivates a nurturing environment where children flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

We use observation-based assessments and individualized learning plans to track each child’s progress and tailor our teaching approach to their unique needs.

We encourage each child to bring their own nutritious and allergy-free snacks to accommodate individual preferences. We believe in promoting healthy eating habits and respecting the dietary needs of every child in our program. By allowing families to provide snacks, we ensure that each child receives nourishment that aligns with their specific dietary requirements and preferences.

We believe in fostering a strong partnership between parents and teachers through regular communication, parent education workshops, and opportunities for parental involvement in school activities.

The safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities. We have strict security protocols, trained staff in CPR and first aid, and maintain a clean and sanitized environment at all times.
