Preschool Programs for 2 - 5 yr olds

Our History


For nearly three decades Edmonton, Alberta's West End Montessori Preschool has faithfully reflected Maria Montessori's assessment of children:

"Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence."

Location


Edmonton's West End Montessori Preschool is located within Edmonton's distinguished Holy Cross Académie Internationale  French immersion school. This quiet safe west end school at 15120 - 104 Avenue is conveniently located with programming for both FT or PT needs. Part time spots have both morning and afternoon start times. We do our best to accommodate each child and their family's needs whenever possible. In essense, customizing the application of our programming to suit family schedules and your children's personality! This is unique and very appreciated by our clients who say we extend a very welcoming, cooperative ambiance!

Curriculum & Learning Philosophy


Children learn by doing, following Maria Montessori's insight: “The hands are the instruments of intelligence.” Our curriculum is based on a combination of practical life skills, large and small motor tuning, emotional and social enhancement, as well as sound individually appropriate academic enhancement.

*** After much hard work, West End Montessori School is honored to announce we have achieved the Alberta Government Highest Certification for Childcare "Accreditation Standards". Ask us why that is important to your children's education! :)
