About Maple Children's Montessori School

“Education should no longer be mostly imparting knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentials.” - Maria Montessori

Our Goals

We aspire to help our children develop the skills and confidence needed to help them achieve their fullest potential.

The journey of each child that attends Maple Children’s Montessori School is governed by the revolutionary approach to education established by the works of Maria Montessori. It is through the enriched program within our school that enables every child to develop and maintain value and esteem for self, peers as well as their surrounding community. Mirroring the teachings outlined by the Montessori Method, our school also believes that children learn best by doing and not by inertly accepting the ideas of others and the prior knowledge that has been exposed to them.

We're committed to your child's happiness and well-being.

Our Philosophy
"The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six, for that is the time when man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed." - Maria Montessori, the Absorbent Mind, 1949

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that no human being is educated by another person. The goal of education should not be to fill the child with facts from a prepared curriculum, but to cultivate the child’s own natural desire to learn. Dr. Montessori spent her life observing children in many different countries and cultures. She felt that children should be provided with a special environment to allow them to develop their full potential as individual beings. The Montessori classroom is specifically designed to meet the needs of the young child. It is a “house for children”, where they have the opportunity to develop such qualities as self-discipline, self-motivation, independence, love of learning and social skills through work and play with specialized learning materials.

The uniquely-designed materials are developmentally graded and self-correcting so the child may learn through manipulative discovery, without fear of failure. The child grows in knowledge as his interests lead him from one discovery to another. There is motivation to do the work because it is freely chosen and it fulfills the needs of the “sensitive periods” of a child’s life when he/she is strongly attracted to a particular area of learning; e.g. language, mathematics, geography, etc.

At Maple Children’s Montessori School, we are devoted to Maria Montessori’s learning method, and we are proud of our commitment to offer a rich varied program that remains true to the methods and precepts developed by the late Maria Montessori.

The teachers help in the children’s classroom to perfect the natural tools for learning; i.e. the hand and the senses, by first demonstrating the activities and then giving them as much opportunity as they need to practice them. The mixed age groups within our Montessori classrooms give children the opportunity to develop as individuals without the pressure of competition. The older children provide the models of imitation for the young children and in turn reinforce their own learning by helping the younger ones.

Aside from the Montessori program, we offer supplementary group activities in Physical Education, Visual Art, French and Music, providing the opportunity to enrich the creative/imaginative horizon of a child’s mind and to foster self-expression, communication and the spirit of working together.

Maple Children's Montessori School is a CCMA Accredited School and we will continue to maintain this accolade by following through on our Mission Statement. MCMS takes great pride in offering a true Montessori experience for all age groups.

Our Philosophy

Our Dedicated Faculty

We are building a solid foundation of teaching by focusing on healthy social and academic relationships with our students and their families.

The faculty at Maple Children’s Montessori School is dedicated to ensuring each child exercises his/her mental, emotional, physical and social potential to the highest regard. The educational cycle of instruction and learning presents challenges uniquely created to suit each child individually in order to progress to a level that fully illustrates his/her capabilities. Each academic day provides an opportunity for the child to be introduced to a new task with the guidance and patience expressed by our educators. The activities presented assist in combining the child’s scholastic ability along with their innate creativity which demonstrates the multitude of talent that is exceptionally given to each child. It is our vision that the union of parents and the educational institution sets the foundation for the child as a future contributor to society who approaches responsibility with the utmost respect and maturity.

Maple Children’s Montessori School has highly qualified teachers and caring staff available.

We require that all staff have a complete physical, annual checkup, pass a Criminal Reference Check, and be reviewed frequently for teaching and behaviour management techniques. Our school strives for excellence by selecting the finest and most elite instructors to deliver curriculum that meets optimal standards. Also, our specialized instructors offer expertise in all areas of education including French, Music, Physical Education and Visual Arts. A proportionate number of staff members are required to possess provincial certification (AMI, TMI, MACTE, NAMC &/or ECE Diplomas). As well as meeting the standard of character and professional competence that MCMS upholds. All staff members must participate in regular training (i.e. First Aid/CPR, lectures, conferences, etc.) to ensure that professional competency is not only maintained, but also upgraded.

Principal's Message

When I began my career working in the Montessori environment, I knew I wanted to make a difference in the lives of children as they learn and grow. I saw the potential that the mind of a young child has and how impactful and crucial the early learning years are into the adolescent years.

It was then that I realized I wanted to be part of that growth and development. After studying and receiving a business diploma, I then went on to receive my Montessori training to support my future dreams and endeavours of owning a Montessori school such as MCMS.

I have always dedicated myself to providing parents with guidance and support, ensuring peace of mind while their children are in our care. A school should encompass the warmth of a home, yet foster the child’s love of learning. It should enrich their absorbent minds, within a nurturing and peaceful environment.

It has always been a dream of mine to become a principal and own a school. A school that could implement and nurture the growth that fosters each child’s potential for development not only academically, but socially. Choosing a Montessori school was not only a career choice but also a pathway for other families to be able to experience the Montessori philosophy at its greatest potential.

Little did I know that one day I would have prepared a place for my own child to learn, grow, and have a safe space for exploring independence, strength, and the love of learning from within. I discovered the importance of a well-rounded educational environment is essential, thus, creating a high-standard school setting for our students which is fundamental in a Montessori school.

There is always an opportunity for growth and excellence within our school, as each child holds the potential for development and success.

Together with our professional and dedicated teachers and staff, MCMS has maintained a successful standard of a high-quality Montessori school in Vaughan. We are confident in knowing that at Maple Children’s Montessori School, we offer your family a warm safe place for your child’s growth, care, and development.

At Maple Children’s Montessori School, we believe in providing a school that embraces a peaceful and nurturing environment. The importance of the development of a child from physical, cognitive, and emotional needs to an educational philosophy that allows the children to reach their full potential.

Together we look forward to creating a bond with your family in our school community for years to come.

Sincerely,
Gary Carrera
