TESTIMONIALS
My eldest went to Montessori World two years ago and now my 4 year old is attending. Ms Jelena is the school principal and she is absolutely amazing. She truly adopts the Montessori method into the classrooms in the most traditional sense. There are so many other schools we’ve experienced where they claim they are following the Montessori method but are not. This school is truly the gem in the haystack. The only downfall is that they only offer half day but despite that, I feel like my son is getting so much more out of 3 hrs at this school versus a full day at another school - Dr. Sandy Wong
Montessori World is a special school. My son was shy but over the course of the school year he has become much more social. Now, on weekends he asks why he cant go to school. I am impressed with the curriculum, field trips and extra curricular options. The school even has Mandarin and French lessons. Jelena, the principal, is devoted and passionate about engaging with her students and was very available to speak with. - Mr. DK
All the staff is supportive and friendly, especially Ms. Jelena. They care for each student and it is a safe environment for the kids to be in. Excellent school, that is clean and tidy. With field trips being organized every month that the kids are happy to go on, where they are able to learn something new. Pleased with the amount of knowledge my student has picked up from Montessori World Preschool. Would definitely recommend the school to other family and friends. - Mrs. Isher Litt
The friendly, helpful staff and the well behaved students initially attracted us to Montessori World. With both of our children spending their preschool years at Montessori World, we have really come to appreciate the school for its many wonderful qualities – nurturing staff, excellent academic program, enriching extended hour program, and the variety of field trips. We also enjoy the opportunities to see our children during observation sessions and school performances. My children look forward to going to school everyday, and we believe that Montessori World has definitely helped my children foster a positive attitude towards learning – an attribute which we appreciate and we hope will continue for years to come. - Mr. and Mrs. Lee
The school has such a great curriculum which includes reading, writing, music, art, math, geography, French, cultural activities, and many more practical subjects. The most impressive school activities were the field trips held once a month - visiting museums and parks/gardens to children’s plays and shows, these activities gave my daughter great opportunities to widen her horizons. None of the other preschools I visited would ever do that. I would recommend this school to any parents who want their children to have a well-rounded education and to become independent learners. - Ms. Cathy B.
My husband and I searched many preschools before we came across Montessori World. We feel absolutely blessed to have found such an extraordinary school for both of our children to attend. Montessori World implemented a strong foundation for entering elementary school. They taught our daughter to have a positive self-image and to be proud of who she is – this in turn has helped her want to do her personal best at any project given in school, enjoy learning, and she has been given lifelong habits and skills to use not only in school but also in her daily life. Our son looks forward to going to school everyday, and he is sad when the weekend arrives – that is how much he loves to go to school. Montessori World has provided a warm, nurturing, caring, and calm atmosphere where the children feel comfortable and are not afraid to learn and engage in tasks. The teachers are very positive, reassuring, and encouraging to all students. - Dr. Karas
I researched many preschools and daycares. After thorough research and comparisons, I decided to enroll my first child at Montessori World. This was the best decision I made. Seven years after, with three kids who all attended Montessori World, I can proudly say that the school has done an outstanding job with all my kids. My kids have always been at an advantage at their elementary schools as Montessori World prepared them in many ways for their journeys ahead. The multiple ways of teaching, guiding, and working with kids have been a plus point for me. The classroom atmosphere, monthly field trips, friendly staff are all great assets for the school. Montessori World has a well rounded, enriching program that offers many opportunities for all families. - Mr. and Mrs. Dhaliwal
Our family had toured many preschools during their open houses, but we were immediately drawn to Montessori World because of the warmth of the staff and the incredibly beautiful classroom environment with its immaculate layout of materials and large windows allowing in a lot of natural light. We’ve had the pleasure of watching the children at work during observation times, and it was so magical to see preschool children so engaged in their tasks. In one corner, children were working with the math materials; on the carpet at the back of the classroom was a small group as they huddled with a teacher as they learned about the continents; some students were seated and working independently on their fine motor skills with the language materials while others were working with the practical life materials as they polished, folded, and poured. The entire time, the classroom atmosphere was extremely calm, and it was wonderful to see the teachers interacting with the children in a positive, reassuring, and encouraging manner. - Mrs. Hansen
As a teacher myself with over 16 years of experience, my expectations were high and I am happy to report that Montessori World met my expectations, particularly because I wanted my son’s first encounters with education and time spent away from his parents to be safe, supportive, happy, and productive. Field trips are provided once a month to exciting places that are always connected to the learning outcomes students are presently working on. Social graces which include greeting others, shaking hands, making eye contact, and introducing oneself politely are just some examples of etiquette that have been reinforced by the school. The staff are kind and supportive, paying attention to his learning progress as well as to his emotional well-being. My son has transitioned from being a quiet and shy child to one who is much more verbal and confident. The large windows [in the classroom] allowing for natural light (as opposed to fluorescent light) in the building is nice to have, as some schools in the area do not have that option. The rooms are colourful, clean, and well-equipped with learning resources. I recommend this school without any hesitation. Schools are valuable places where we entrust our children to and Montessori World Preschool is an excellent choice. — Mrs. L. Tsoulos
