Meshal K.
A very happy mom here! I am grateful to MEC and its staff for providing my daughter (Aliya) with an amazing learning experience, which is hard to get at any other place. There emphasis on independent learning, public speaking and discipline has laid a foundation for my child. Thanks to Mrs. Irani and all other teachers for their understanding, hard work and compassion. You all have set the bar high.
NOOR SYEDA
The teachers are kind, compassionate, and highly skilled, and they have created a supportive and nurturing environment for the children. The curriculum is challenging and engaging, and there is a strong emphasis on independence and self-direction. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a top-quality education for their child."
Laura Mendes
It has been a true blessing and such a joy for us to be a part of the MEC community. The care and consideration Imanthi (principal) and her teachers have bestowed upon my children over the years will forever be cherished by our family. If you are considering entering your children into this school, I highly recommend. Both my children have been attending since they were toddlers. My daughter is finally moving onto Grade 1. Montessori has helped them develop into confident, caring and independent little humans with a love for learning. Thank you Montessori Education Centre. We are so grateful.

The Montessori Education Center (in Thorncliffe Park) is one of the best Montessori schools in Toronto & the GTA. The teachers and the administration truly follow the Montessori philosophy. I've lived in Toronto for 20+ years and can honestly say the children are happy, excited and learning a lot! Several families are repeat customers, enrolling siblings over the years. Phenomenal service and care provided by the teachers and management. I highly recommend this school to all parents!

From the moment I entered the center, I was surrounded by such a positive and welcoming atmosphere—from both the staff and the children. I was truly amazed to see the little ones so focused and engaged in their tasks. The support, encouragement, and professionalism shown by every staff member I encountered were outstanding. To be honest, your center sets a wonderful example for others.
