It is often asked why Montessori should be chosen over regular kindergarten.
Montessori offers children a comfortable learning environment that was
developed specifically for their needs and how they learn best. It is a proven
philosophy that has worked for years and provides children with an excellent
leg up into Grade 1.
We all want the best for our children and this three year program will give
them a strong foundation for the rest of their academic years as well as
independence in their daily life skills.
