Montessori Preschool Centre
Philosophy
The Sheridan Montessori Preschool Centre at the Trafalgar Road Campus follows the educational methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori and is fully accredited by the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators (CCMA). The Montessori philosophy seeks as its goal, an independent, self-directed child. The multi-age grouping fosters the development of responsibility, collaboration, cooperation and an enjoyment of learning. Specially designed Montessori materials provide the child with progressive learning in the areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language and Cultural Studies.
Our program provides a total curriculum which allows for the optimal growth of children in all areas including social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. This setting promotes self-direction, initiative, independence, building of trust and self-esteem.
Each child and family is recognized as being unique. Family styles, values, cultures and traditions are respected and reflected in the curriculum.
