Montessori Kerrisdale School

My whole earth academy is an amazing school, with wonderful friendly staff and good principal. Both of my kids love going to the school , before Covid existed I use to bring my son to class and spend hours with him together in the classroom to learn and to play. The environment is clean and the teacher is very nice kind and helpful. Now with my other son that is older in kindergarten , all I need to do is drop off to class for few hours and pickup sign in and out with app on the phone very safe and convenient. My son love going to school. Ms Margaret is always there to help when I reach out. Wonderful staff Thankyou.

My son recently started here and teacher Asma and Ken are so great! We are in the prep class and my nanny loves the environment for him. I’m so glad we found My Whole Earth!

My three-year-old son attends the Montessori Inspired Preschool program at My Whole Earth Academy and it’s been a wonderful experience so far. The student to teacher ratio is low, the classrooms are bright and clean and they are filled with lots of toys and learning materials. The school does a fantastic job of working with individual families to meet each child’s needs. The teachers are the best part of My Whole Earth Academy. They are kind, caring and supportive and they never hesitate to fill me in on my child’s progress at the end of every class; my son absolutely adores them. The level of education my son is receiving is quite impressive. In a short period of time his letter writing and counting skills have increased dramatically and he has become so much more self-sufficient. Choosing My Whole Earth Academy was a really good decision for my family and I cannot recommend it enough!

Both of my sons have been in this school for 3 years, and had many good memories throughout the years. We joined their Parent Participation class when they were 18 months old. As a parent, I found it was a quality time to learn with your kids. At the same time, you will develop a close relationship with the teachers, children and other parents, and will also learn many useful skills such as parenting, kids behaviors and activities. Teachers there are very caring and willing to help every single families' needs. They also have a great way to transition your kid to their preschool class. They will spend time and prepare your kid's readiness before transitioning to preschool, so that you don't have to worry about separation anxiety. Even when you are in the preschool side, teachers will allow parents to stay if they worry about their kid. One of my favorite program is their monthly field trips and themes. From solar system, weather, nature, transportation to botanic study, they inspired kid's learning with their curiosity at an early age. Their class activities are very fun for kids including science experiments, STEM, cooking, yoga, arts and crafts. Kids learn something new and practical everyday. Not only that, during our virtual classes in this pandemic, the school did not just send us home, they actually offer many creative activities to do online together with all classmates. They plan every week's theme with very innovative activities, and keep children interactive in front of a screen. We are very grateful that we found Miss Jennifer and her school team. My sons will always remember the fun time in this preschool.

My Daughter has been attending the school since she was 18 month old, she was on the prep side all the way till this January. We decided she is ready to move to the pre school side the teachers made the transition amazing and smooth. I feel very comfortable leaving her in the morning. She loves the school and enjoys attending very much. The programs are great and with the pandemic I must say it is very clean and they do follow all the sanitary pre caution necessary. I highly recommend this school. Thanks to all the amazing teachers and staff.

I love this school not only the location but all the teachers and all the activities! They are so thoughtful and professional and not just baby sitting, actually teaching them based on Montessori and playing. My daughter loves going to the class each day from the prep class since she was 2years old. There are different theme each week or month to learn about by exploring and playinglike The Earth, Ocean, Planets, Animals, Culture, letters and numbers It seems like the 3hours class is always fully filled up with all the activities which is I love it as a parent. It was a fortune that we could find MWE and meet miss Jen, ms Elvina, ms Basma, ms Thi and ms Mekdes for my daughter

During this pandemic year, Saffi has started her pre-school program at MWE. We feel so grateful that teachers and all school staffs are being so patient and making extra efforts to provide a safe and wonderful learning environment for the kids. Love their programs too! Kids are encouraged to express themselves, to learn to communicate with each other while arts, music and reading elements are well introduced to the kids at school. Saffi has learned and grown a lot throughout the year! Lovely kids and friendly parents as well!

My daughter loves this school. Edit: I'm adding to this review now that my second daughter is attending 3 years later. We loved it before and gave 5 stars, but this school is even better than before. The teacher's are so great and my daughter is learning so much. Teacher Miss Mekdes Gete is a real score for the school - she is fantastic. Administration/communication has improved with the new office administrator.
