Story

We are a Montessori school located in Vancouver, British Columbia aimed at educating children aged 2.5 years to 6 years of age in a preschool or full day setting.

The main premises of Montessori education are:

Children are to be respected as different from adults and as individuals who differ from each other.
Children possess an unusual sensitivity and intellectual ability to absorb and learn from their environment that are unlike those of the adult both in quality and capacity.
The most important years of childrens growth are the first six years of life when unconscious learning is gradually brought to the conscious level.
Children have a deep love and need for purposeful work. They work, however, not as an adult for the completion of a job, but the sake of an activity itself. It is this activity which enables them to accomplish their most important goal: the development of their individual selves – their mental, physical and psychological powers.
