What parents say

• darrinwf

  When my wife and I first started looking into Headon Forest Montessori for our twins we were a bit hesitant due to the cost. In hindsight it was one of the best parenting decisions we have made. I cannot say enough great things about the staff and administration at Headon Forest Montessori. The philosophy and programs have provided our children with an enriched curriculum individualized to each child to ensure an exceptional learning environment. The values of respect, responsibility and creativity is the foundation of the learning environment. Headon Forest Montessori felt like a "home away from home" for our children, and provided a safe loving environment for the starting stages of their educational journey. We are going to truly miss the staff and teachers at Headon Forest Montessori, they have become part of our family. Headon Forest Montessori is an amazing school, with exceptional people and we cannot recommend them enough!!!!

  This was truly one of the most rewarding academic experiences we’ve had as parents. The school provided a warm, nurturing environment where our child not only learned and developed new skills but also grew into a confident young individual, well-prepared to enter the school system. Amid the stress of relocating to a new home in 2023, having our child at this school made the transition much smoother and helped us feel more connected to the community. The teachers were outstanding. Their care, patience, and thoughtful approach to working with children are a shining example of what great education should look like.

  We have been with HFM for 3.5 years and both our kids have had an incredible experience and growth has been a pleasure to watch. Our feedback is from both toddler and Casa class. 1. The teachers are incredible - they really care about each kid, their feedback is honest and they embody the Montessori principles. 2. Size of school and class felt welcoming and comfortable to us. 3. Classrooms are very well organized and clean 4. The cohort of kids has been great and the school really focuses on the kids they welcome in. 5. HFM is a home away from home for our kids 6. The care they showed for us as a family especially as our kid was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and the help they gave really made us feel safe and valued. Overall we could not have been happier with our experience and made memories for a lifetime. Glad our kids joined HFM.

  We had a wonderful experience at Headon Forest Montessori (HFM). Our daughter attended the school through the CASA program and has since transitioned into Grade 1 in the public school system. The difference in her confidence, leadership skills, and academic readiness was immediately noticeable. She entered Grade 1 with strong abilities in reading, writing, math, and even French – all thanks to the nurturing yet structured environment at HFM. Beyond academics, the school helped her develop discipline, independence, and self-confidence, which we believe are equally important for her growth. What makes this Montessori truly special is the dedication of the teachers. Even a year after graduating, our daughter fondly remembers Ms. Mahnaz, Ms. Khan, Ms. Daniel, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Kristan, and her French teacher, Madam Linda. Their passion, patience, and commitment left a lasting impression and built an incredible foundation for her future. We are deeply grateful to the HFM Family for shaping our daughter’s early years so beautifully. We wholeheartedly recommend HFM to any parent seeking a strong start for their child’s journey.

  We’ve had a wonderful experience with Headon Forest Montessori ! We want to thank the entire HFM family for the love and support they have shown, and our child absolutely flourished here — not just academically, but also socially and emotionally. The teachers are incredibly caring, attentive, and truly understand how to nurture a child’s natural curiosity. We saw so much growth in confidence, independence, and communication. The Montessori approach really helped her develop a love for learning and strong problem-solving skills from a young age. We’re so grateful for the warm, respectful environment provided by HFM — it feels more like a second home than just a school. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a place where their child will be supported, challenged, and celebrated.
