The staff, atmosphere, learning environment and quality of education far exceed our expectations. My little one spent 3 years with Alberta Montessori and has truly blossomed. The growth, confidence, and capability my little one possesses will definitely have her ahead of the curve and give her a solid base from which to grow her academic career. Thanks to everyone at Alberta Montessori. You’re the best!

Two of my kiddos attended Alberta Montessori for a total of 4 years. The confidence, empowerment and joy of learning my kiddos come home with each day is exceptional. They are encouraged to try new things, build relationships and express their individuality. My kiddos were excited to go to school every day and even asked to invite their teachers on family holidays. Thank you Alberta Montessori for being such a welcoming and loving environment. My 3rd is excited to attend soon.

Both of my kids attend Montessori Alberta. This is THE PLACE. I really do not know how can I thank the teachers enough, they are magical. What a pleasure to see my kids growing up with amazing social, emotional, educational skills. I am proud of what they have accomplished here. Such disciplined boys🥰I keep requesting Montessori Alberta to extend to elementary school so that my kids can continue to be there. Great job Teachers! It was 2 years of bliss with you all.
Our daughter has had the pleasure of attending Montessori Alberta for 2 years now and we unquestionably made the right choice by sending her here! Celine and her team are devoted not only to nurturing children's learning but take a holistic approach in doing so; teaching them values and manners so as to cultivate more well-rounded little humans. Highly recommend!

Our daughter attended the half-day kindergarten program 2021-2022. She made many friends, and gained confidence academically as well as socially. She particularly enjoyed attending school with the various ages and had increased empathy towards younger children. She was well prepared for grade one and often helps her classmates. She is still friends with many of the children from that year. Her report cards were detailed and outlined attainable goals. She had home reading which I appreciated as I enjoy being involved in her education. Any concerns I had were addressed immediately and with professionalism.

Our son also attended for a few months in the preschool program. Montessori wasn’t the best fit for him but Miss Celine did offer to change times he attended to see if he would do better in the morning. We decided to remove him and put him in an outdoor preschool which was a better fit for his energy and learning style.

My only recommendation to parents considering Alberta Montessori, would be to take the time to research the Montessori values and be sure that it is right for your child. It was perfect for our daughter, but not for our son and that is okay.

Our daughter spent 2 years at Montessori Alberta with Ms. Celine, Ms. Sophia, and Ms. Angela. Our daughter learned so much at this school and it has really given her a lot of confidence in Grade 1. I am quite surprised to see some of the previous reviews but I'll comment with specifics to help any parents considering sending their children here.

- Focus - My first experience with Montessori Alberta was in 2019 when we had a school tour. I was amazed to see 15 kids sitting on the mat all listening to Ms. Celine read to them. Ms. Celine has a way with children that really keeps them focused.

-Adaptable - 2020-2022 was a hard time for schooling for all families but Ms. Celine was able to keep the school safe, keep the parents informed, and keep the kids learning every single day. When our daughter had to miss school for a few weeks, they made efforts to include her via Google Meet which was a wonderful way for my daughter to stay included.

-Nurturing - Each of the teacher's here have such a wonderful way of knowing what a child needs. They really gave my daughter the push she needed but also gave her the space to grow. At each of our parent teacher interviews, we got specific and concrete feedback on how our daughter could improve and areas where she was already strong.

-Community - The community of parents that bring their kids here is just wonderful and this speaks to the strength of the school and how it fosters that network. Even though our daughter is in grade 1 and all of her previous classmates are now in different schools, the parents still meet up and the kids still play together!

In summary, I have nothing but great things to say about Montessori Alberta. My son is not quite old enough to go but the moment that he is, I am sending him there!
My daughter attended Montessori Alberta for the past 3 years and with every year we saw her grow and become more independent and confident.
She now has no trouble folding clothes, making toast for herself, and even cutting some cucumbers!

We are very happy with our choice for her to attend Montessori Alberta from preschool to kindergarten, as she will be going into Grade 1 with the ability to read, to spell (words like gift, sell, bell, stick), and to add numbers in her head up to 20. The program was very consistent and allowed her to excel where she was able to.

I am a parent who believes in the Montessori style of learning, not expecting teachers to write me emails every week but confident that I will be properly updated on my daughter's progress. I know that she was greatly cared for at Montessori Alberta and I am very grateful to Ms.Celine, Ms. Angela and Mr. Stewart for the time she spent there.

Now it's onto the next adventure.
My son has been attending Montessori Alberta for almost 2 years. During this time he has been guided by Ms Celine, Mr Stewart and Ms Angela to develop more independence, a stronger sense of self and find his voice. It is clear through my interactions with his teachers that they care about his growth and development and that their approach is nurturing and attentive. Their focus is strong in understanding the individual needs of the child.

He enjoys the science program immensely and is developing skills to start kindergarten.

The school is clean and comfortable for the children and the outdoor play program is a great bonus.
