WHY EDUCATION?
DEMAND FOR PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IS ON THE RISE
- Demand for licensed, quality early learning/child care space is increasing and fees have climbed.
- More than 80% of women and 90.9% of men in Canada, aged 25 to 54, participated in the labour market in 2015*, and the percentage of lone-parent families has at least doubled in 40 years.**
- Canadian parents no longer want child care alone, they also desire a place where they will receive an excellent foundation for early learning combined with physical activity and free play.
- Investing in your future also means helping to nurture and shape future generations.

WHY MONTESSORI?
Our program is based on the work of female physician and educator Dr. Maria Montessori who, through her research and studies, helped to change the course of education. Montessori recognizes that children learn in many ways and at their own pace. Montessori Education concentrates on the child’s experience, characterized by a focus on self-directed activity, where the teacher’s role is to encourage, observe and guide students. In Montessori education, the environment is adapted to the child and their development.
