Frequently Asked Questions

What age groups do you accept at Greenlane Montessori?

At Greenlane Montessori, we welcome children aged 16 months to 6 years across three carefully designed programs: Pre-Casa (16 months–2.5 years), Casa (2.5–4 years), and KinderCasa (4–6 years).

Each program is tailored to support your child’s unique stage of development, providing age-appropriate activities, hands-on learning experiences, and opportunities to build confidence, independence, and essential life skills.

How is Montessori education different from traditional childcare?

The Montessori approach focuses on nurturing each child’s natural curiosity and allowing them to learn at their own pace.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all teaching method, our experienced educators observe, guide, and encourage children to explore activities that interest them. Through hands-on learning and a carefully prepared environment, children develop independence, problem-solving skills, creativity, and a genuine love of learning.

What will my child learn at Greenlane Montessori?

Our Montessori curriculum supports the development of the whole child, helping them grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

Children explore five key areas of Montessori learning: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Culture. We also offer enriching experiences in French, music, art, science, movement, and more.

Every activity is designed to encourage curiosity, build confidence, and develop essential skills while making learning meaningful and enjoyable.

How do you help children settle into their new Montessori environment?

We understand that starting childcare is a big milestone for both children and their families. That's why our caring educators take a gentle, individualised approach to helping every child feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed.

We work closely with parents to understand each child’s needs, personality, and routines, providing reassurance, encouragement, and consistent support throughout the settling-in process.

Our goal is to help every child build confidence, develop friendships, and feel a genuine sense of belonging within our Montessori community.

How does Greenlane Montessori prepare children for kindergarten and elementary school?

Our programs are designed to develop the confidence, independence, and foundational skills children need for their next educational milestone.

Through hands-on activities and self-directed learning, children develop early literacy, numeracy, communication, concentration, and problem-solving skills.

Our KinderCasa program also introduces more structured learning experiences aligned with Ontario educational guidelines, helping children become familiar with classroom routines while nurturing their natural enthusiasm for learning.

Does Greenlane Montessori offer activities beyond the core Montessori curriculum?

Absolutely! We believe that a well-rounded education gives children wonderful opportunities to discover new interests, express themselves, and develop their unique abilities.

Alongside our Montessori curriculum, children enjoy enriching activities including French language learning, music and movement, mindfulness, cooking, zoology, and creative exploration.

These experiences support social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development while encouraging children to learn through discovery, creativity, and play.
