Resources for familiesFoundations of early learning
The preschool years are a time of incredible growth. Alongside language and math readiness, children build social-emotional skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in their own capabilities.

Resources for families
Our supportive community
Granville House Montessori is more than a school. It is a close-knit community where every child is known and valued, and every family is welcomed.
A place to belong
Children feel safe, cared for, and connected, and every family is welcomed into our close-knit environment.
Working together
Open communication and shared experiences help families feel supported and children thrive at school and at home.
Celebrating together
From seasonal celebrations to community events, we come together often to learn, share, and celebrate.
Individual attention for every student
Teachers observe closely and give intentional lessons that meet each child where they are, nurturing confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning.
Personalized learning
Each child is seen, known, and supported as an individual. Classrooms are designed so children can work at their own pace, revisit materials for mastery, and receive guidance tailored to their developmental stage. Teachers observe closely and give intentional lessons that meet each child where they are.
Early literacy and numeracy
Hands-on materials and individualized instruction build phonemic awareness, number sense, problem-solving skills, and concentration in a calm, purposeful environment. Children build understanding through exploration rather than memorization.
Social-emotional development
Strong, trusting relationships help children feel secure and confident expressing themselves. Through guided role-play and collaborative problem-solving, children learn to navigate social situations with empathy and respect, and to recognize and manage their feelings.
Enrichment and exploration
Art, practical life, movement, and cultural exploration let children express themselves and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Meaningful exploration builds academic readiness and joy in learning.

Six core Montessori areas, enriched with language, movement, and social-emotional learning.

What ages do you accept, and what is the admissions process?
Granville House Montessori welcomes children during the preschool years, ages 3 to 5. Families begin by submitting a pre-registration form, after which we schedule a conversation and, when appropriate, a classroom visit. As spaces are limited, we encourage families to inquire early. Placement is offered based on program fit, availability, and readiness.
What are your hours, ratios, and licensing standards?
Granville House Montessori is a fully licensed early learning centre operating in accordance with provincial childcare regulations. We maintain appropriate teacher-to-child ratios to ensure close supervision, individualized attention, and a calm, well-supported classroom environment. Our hours and program structure are designed to provide consistency while supporting the needs of our families.
Is your program academically rigorous?
Our program provides a strong academic foundation through purposeful, hands-on learning. Children develop early literacy, numeracy, concentration, and executive functioning skills within a carefully prepared environment. Rather than accelerating children beyond their developmental readiness, we focus on depth, mastery, and cultivating a genuine love of learning.
Does my child need to be potty trained?
Yes. Children enrolled at Granville House Montessori are expected to be independently potty trained before starting the program. Independence in toileting is an important developmental milestone and supports a child’s confidence, self-regulation, and participation in the classroom routine. We encourage families to keep things consistent between home and school to support a smooth transition.
