Montessori Classics Preschool and Kindergarten — Daycare & Preschool in Red Deer, Alberta

What parents say

• Dayna Garner

  Montessori Classics is a fantastic program for children and we are so grateful we were able to send our daughter here for her Kindergarten year. She is happy to go to school everyday and always brings home amazing activities that she enjoyed doing. Their outdoor space is beautiful and the children get plenty nice of outdoor time. We can’t wait for our son to be able to start the program as well. Thank you Maria for creating the best program for children in Red Deer! :)

  I was wrong about Montessori. I thought it was a strict, boring, just wooden toy type of day care but I was SO wrong. My son has attended here for the past 2 years and he has developed in ways I couldn't imagine. The staff here are all about child focused learning, so if William showed interest in something they fed into his interest and opened his world to help him see how everything is connected, with interactive learning and helping each other. William has developed a good understanding of Mathematics, Writing, Reading, Dance, Geography, Animal, plants and so much more. If the entire education system was built around this type of learning and growing, kids would love to go to school and their education and abilities would be nourished to guide them to become the people they actually want to be. I'm sad that my son has to leave this place, because he has thrived during his time here. Thank you Ms. Maria and all of the team at Montessori Classics, Thank you so much!

  Miss Maria and her Montessori Classics program is nothing short of a magical learning adventure for children! My daughter is just finishing her 2nd year at this program and there has never been a day that she was not excited to attend, or come home without many stories of the interesting things she has learned about; showing off her challenging work in literacy development, mathematics, and learnings of the world. Every one of the staff has treated my child and myself with loving respect and enthusiasm for the time spent with the children. The classrooms are impressively set up with meaningful activities to help growth in areas from fine motor development to social skill learning. The children and families that attend this program are a community of it's own, connecting for play dates and birthday parties, and looking out of for each other and one another's children. I have to give credit to Miss Maria and her leadership for fostering such a cooperative and supportive learning space! The outdoor learning areas have everything imaginable and I deeply appreciate how much time is spent outside year round with the children, and how involved they are in taking care of the space and learning about nature. My daughter has grown academically and socially far beyond my expectations! The diversity of topics that she is confidently led to understand is absolutely impressive. Since the very first day I have appreciated Miss Maria's clear and timely communication on any question (no topic was unimportant); and how she sends updates and photos of my child during special events. I can not say enough positive about the dedication and purposeful preparation and learning that is offered at Montessori Classics! And I look forward to the day that I will enroll my next child in this incredible program and give the gift of the safety, nurture, adventure, and learning that is found here. Thank you Miss Maria and all staff for your hearts and energy, it means everything!

  Montessori Classics is the best program that I have ever met.I want to express my gratitude to all the teachers and Miss Maria, who is the director of this school. Every day interesting and diverse tasks for children. My child's progress is very noticeable. She can sew, count numbers, write her own name, take care of flowers and many other wonderful things. And she always brings to her little sister some amazing activities that she done at daycare. Thank you so much for your kind and caring.

  Our son was one of the first kids here. We have greatly enjoyed the experience our son has had with the teachers and cherish all that he has learnt and how he has grown. They have lovely green space for the kids, and do fun educational activities. My son has built a lot of strong relationships with his peers, and the kids all act with care and empathy. I couldn't have entrusted my child to a better Montssori school. We have tried the other one by the Drunken Monk and feel this one was vastly superior for our child's needs. Thank you Mrs. Maria and staff, you will be greatly missed as my son ventures off into Grade 1.
