Ask Us About our Centers

Building Confidence With Practical Skills For Navigating the World

Through everyday activities, children learn coordination and dexterity, how to take care of themselves and their environment, and how to interact with others. As they dress, clean, ask for help, and participate in the classroom, they develop self-esteem and independence.

Spectacular Playgrounds For Building Strength and Agility

With outdoor activities, children build the fine and gross motor skills to be confident, strong movers. They dance, jump, throw and catch. They climb on the natural play structures in our spacious and beautiful yard. Our Nature-rich curriculum builds their skills and healthy, active habits.

We Promise To Keep Your
Child Safe and Sound

We limit outside access to our building and as an added measure have cameras in our classrooms. There are fewer students per teacher so that we are vigilant and ever-watchful. We promise to keep your precious little one happy and safe, laughing and learning.

Kindergarten readiness is 100% guaranteed, as is reading at Kindergarten level, or higher.

Sensory Experiences
Enrich Daily Learning

By taking notice of the size, aroma, taste, weight, texture, temperature, colour and sound of specially designed objects and materials, children learn to focus their attention and solve problems for themselves, forming crucial foundations for maths, language, and self-expression.

Writing, Verbal Communication, and Creative
Expression Every Day

Children learn to express themselves through stories, poetry, rhymes and songs. Teachers consistently model writing techniques and Montessori language materials guide children in letter formation. We explore additional languages to reinforce children’s skills and broadening cultural knowledge.

Exploring Self-Expression
Through Creativity
and Innovation

Children express themselves through art and music, as well as woodwork and cookery. Using their imaginations and a range of materials, they not only have daily chances to be creative, but to develop their dexterity with drawing, painting, building, and mixing activities.

Montessori Materials Approach Science and Maths
with Creativity

Children encounter the world and explore new ideas in an immersive environment. Topics like lifecycles and physics are investigated through plants, rocks and the weather. Through space, shape, size and patterns, children begin to explore mathematical concepts like sorting and counting.

Leveraging Gentle Yet Effective Techniques for Emotional Growth

By applying a combination of proven approaches, including Conscious Discipline and Love and Logic, we can understand the internal framework that influences behaviour, in order to equip children with the social-emotional and communication skills needed to manage themselves, resolve conflict, and develop healthy relationships.

Both my kids attended fountain they are 11 and 51/2 and the foundation it laid for their learning is second to none. The Montessori way is the way to go. It helped with their reading and interaction with their surroundings and their ability to voice their opinions on different things around them. My third and last is definitely headed for fountain once she is old enough

Thank you all the staff for taking very good care of Ellie. She loves coming to the nursery and she is learning so much everyday. The report and consultation helps me understand how Ellie is doing at the nursery and her social side as I only see her in a home environment. It helps to know how the nursery trains her things so that we can do the same at home.
