Frequently Asked Questions

For our Casa program, we accept children from the ages of 3-6 years. We sometimes accept children who are just under 3 after a quick assessment to determine readiness for the program and if they are fully potty-trained.

We will also be opening a toddler Montessori program (19 months - under 3 years) in 2025! We are hoping to have our toddler classroom open and ready to go by July 2025. Email us now for more information on how to register!

Once a child is three, they would just need to be fully potty-trained. This means they are able to ask when they need to use the washroom, can pull up/down their pants, and are able to wipe on their own.

Our program is Montessori based, but instead of a morning and afternoon class, we offer a full-day program. This means that your child will be at the Montessori for the whole day. Currently, this is from 8:35am - 3:10pm. There are limited spots for half-days and only in the morning (8:35 am - 11:35 am).

Currently, students attend Montessori from 8:35 am - 3:10 pm. Students who attend the half-day morning are here for 3 hours (8:35 am - 11:35 am). The morning will be dedicated to Montessori learning. Then lunch, outdoor play time, rest time, and inside time with more Montessori work time, stem activities, arts and crafts. Yoga, meditation and French will still be included.
