Investing in Our Children

Did you know? The Niagara Region is not only rich in its unique landscape but we are also blessed to have access to a wide range of high quality, private educational institutions.

For many parents it is important to find the perfect match when deciding which school or daycare will best meet your family and children’s needs.  Could an alternative, private education be an investment worth considering?

Research shows that Montessori Schools are growing in popularity with each passing year. What is sought after and uniquely made available in a Montessori Education is that it focuses on the quality of children’s learning rather than on the teacher’s teaching.  Private schools are not always “elite” and unaffordable; but can provide an important option to parents who are dissatisfied with a standardized educational experience. Parents recognize their child’s individuality and that schooling is not one-size fits all. Accredited Montessori teachers recognize that students learn at different paces and through different learning styles.

While many would agree that investing in their child’s post-secondary education is a priority, it is my opinion that more families should give equal consideration to their child’s (or grandchild’s) Early Childhood Education. This is the time when children are like sponges to the world, and when we must lay the foundation of our children’s lives.

At Beyond Montessori School students learn social skills, daily living skills, math, language, science, physical education and all other traditional courses of learning. Each child also benefits from a daily linguistics program (French and Spanish), children’s yoga, dance, music, visual arts, drama, eco-workshops / nature study, peace projects and so much more! Academic progress is only one aspect of their education. Our real hope is that the children will have an incredible sense of self-respect, self-confidence, enthusiasm for learning and will honestly enjoy school.

“I never had the opportunities or experiences that these kids have,” says Mr. Donnelly “it’s amazing.  My two children are enrolled at Beyond Montessori School and I am so grateful for the opportunity to provide them with such a joyful, well-rounded, and meaningful early childhood education.  As a parent, I can think of no greater investment than in laying a strong foundation for their future.”

Beyond Montessori School believes in giving back to the Niagara Region. Do you know a child entering Grade 1? Each year we provide scholarships to aid families who are interested in a quality, independent education for their child, but are unable to meet the full financial commitment.  Please inquire for Fall registrations.
