About
Oaks & Acorns Montessori offers Montessori programs and childcare for Pre-Toddlers (13 months to 19 months of age), Toddlers (19 months to 3 years of age) and Montessori Preschool / Kindergarten (3 years to 6 years of age) including an option for a Montessori Kindergarten certified by Alberta Education.
We are dedicated to the philosophy and methodology of Dr. Maria Montessori whose work stressed profound respect for the potential of each individual child. Montessori education offers freedom of choice and movement with a balance of guidance based upon observation and respect for the children’s unfolding selves. Dr. Montessori discovered that children thrive in all ways when obstacles to their natural development are removed and a special “prepared environment” is offered to nurture their individual interests and to empower their personal growth. Our classrooms are homey settings scaled to and prepared entirely for children where they are guided to work at their own pace according to their own interests. They joyfully explore and discover social skills, physical skills, daily living skills, the senses, math and language, science and nature, music, art, and geography.
