At Highland Montessori Childcare, working with children brings us immense joy and fulfillment. We feel truly privileged to be a part of many children's early lives. As Dr. Maria Montessori said, “The child passes little by little from the unconscious to the conscious, treading always in the paths of joy and love.” We embrace this philosophy, believing that every child is unique and possesses a remarkable ability to absorb and learn from their environment.
Our approach is grounded in the core principles of Montessori education, which emphasize respect, observation, and individualized support. We believe that children learn best when they are allowed to progress at their own pace in a thoughtfully prepared environment. By observing each child's needs and tailoring our approach accordingly, we create a nurturing space where every child can thrive.
Our journey began with a deep passion for working with infants and toddlers, enriched through experiences across various childcare settings and philosophies. Despite exploring different age groups and approaches, we discovered our true calling at this moment in working with children aged 0 to 3 years within a Montessori setting. The serene and stimulating environment of a Montessori classroom resonates deeply with us, creating a respectful and engaging atmosphere for our little ones to explore.
The birth of our first son, Mason, was a turning point that inspired us to establish Highland Montessori. Witnessing Mason’s growth and development through our meticulously designed curriculum, which aligns perfectly with his developmental needs, reinforced our belief in the effectiveness of the Montessori approach. When our younger son, Lightning, joined our program, it was heartwarming to see Mason eagerly share his learning experiences with his brother. Their wonderful early years in our program reaffirmed our conviction that the early stages of life are crucial for a child's development.
At Highland Montessori Childcare Ltd., we are dedicated to honouring the Montessori approach, aiming to nurture each child's full potential through carefully prepared activities and positive guidance. Our program focuses on five main areas of development:
We also have music and movement classes, and our special summer program which teachers carefully plan lots of fun activities during the months of July and August. You will find a lot of smiles, laughter and fun!
