Beyond Montessori School

We love BMS and all of the staff and faculty we’ve interacted with. Our children both attend the school and we’ve seen big leaps in development, social and practical skills, and imaginative play. Our daughter has been at the school for 1.5 years and has made strong and loving connections with her teachers, has formed friendships with peers and leaves excited to tell us about her days! Our son is new to the school and is slow to transition, the care and kindness shown to him during this tender period of adjustment makes us comfortable and confident in our choice for the care and education of our kids. We are thrilled with BMS and the Montessori curricular style, our kids are thriving!

If you are considering sending your child to a Montessori school, and would like to get a feel for how this school is right now, this is whole heartedly our beautiful experience at BMS. I have my two children in CASA, who started in September 2022, after pulling my son out of public school after being bullied, and being put on a iPad a large chunk of the day. To see my children absolutely flourish, really brings tears to my eyes. In public school, there was a speech delay concern with my son, he could barely write his name, he ‘didn’t have an interest in art’ - and now this year, he enjoys writing at home, especially his name, he loves art, and he can magically count to 30 in French. Bravo! Intuitively, I can feel so deeply the love and passion my children teachers have for guiding these young children. My daughter shrieks with excitement when she meets eyes with her teacher every morning. My son hugs his teachers at every goodbye. They absolutely adore and respect them. I’m so happy to see them become more independent, and gain the necessary life skills that my son failed to learn during his JK iPad experience. I have so, so much gratitude for BMS and all the staff. They have been so accommodating - and if you ask me, have gone above and beyond in ensuring the well being of my children. I’ve created a very safe space for my children to be open and honest about all their experiences and feelings and I have yet to hear anything but positive about their experiences at BMS. It’s important to remember, there will ALWAYS be negative reviews - our unhealed trauma, our lack of compassion for ourselves and others will always lead the inability to communicate as mature adults, or more specifically lack of proper communication skills. In times of being ultimately triggered, instead of pointing our finger outward, we must point our finger inward.

My daughter joined BMS in September 2021 and she has enjoyed a great experience ever since. At the beginning, she was shy and didn't know how to interact with peers and teachers. She has come out of her shell so much now. She has been talking about her friends at school, counting their names happily and proudly. She learned a lot about good manners and life skills. She mentions to mum about the jobs she has been doing at school and she loves them.We sincerely appreciate the help and support from the loving and caring teachers and admin team! I would enrol my son when he grows a bit older.

Beyond Montessori has been a beautiful choice for us. We are no strangers to Montessori Education and BMS truly follows the core values and educational principals set forth by Maria Montessori. The teachers are kind, compassionate, and do their absolute best to ensure each student is treated with inclusion, kindness and respect. They nurture the students independence allowing them to grow with confidence and go above and beyond to ensure each student has the tools they need to succeed. The administrative staff is very supportive, accommodating and easy to work with. If you are looking for a quality start to your child's education look no further.

Every single day I drop my child off at Beyond Montessori. Every single day I witness my child run to her teachers because she can't wait to start her day. Recently, my child was sick and I had to pick her up. I watched her three teachers care for and love her the way I would. I find so much joy in being a part of the community that loves and cherishes my child. Since stepping into Beyond, my child has been growing, learning, and excelling. The teachers, the administration, and the other parents have worked above and beyond to ensure our child is supported and that we as parents are engaged.Thank you Beyond Montessori for continuing to be a safe place for our child to learn and grow.

My kid loves BMS! She is being the school 1.5 years, and she likes all her teachers and her class friends. Here, staff are so patient, compassionate and passionate. When I had sometimes busy period, I would need to email them regarding my kid's daily detail, her teachers always respond me in time. Every school day, my kid loves to chat and share with me about her school life!!! Every end of month we will get an email with lots of her pictures in school, so nice, we enjoy it too!

We have been so grateful to be a part of the BMS community. Our son started in the Casa classroom at age three. At times he can be slower to warm in new situations, and his teachers Miss Ashley and Miss Rebecca were extremely kind and patient with him. Over time we saw our son develop a confidence and independence that we absolutely attribute to his experience at Beyond Montessori.Our younger son started this year in the Pre-Casa classroom and similarily, we have watched him flourish. Miss Emily and Miss Ming make a wonderful team. They bring an incredible patience and passion for education to their classroom, it feels very much like a welcoming space.Whenever I've had questions or needed assistance, the administrative team has always swiftly and professionally assisted me. I appreciate their attention to detail and clear, concise communication.

I had the opportunity to be a guest speaker recently and meet the staff, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I love the schools new location, my daughter used to attend Beyond Montessori when she was younger, and she loved it! She is now going into second year of Guelph, studying Environmental Sciences. I know her love for nature and her knowledge stemmed from the seeds planted in this school.Thanks so much for everything you do in our community!!Cheerfully,Natalia

Our children have attended Beyond Montessori for the better part of 6 years. The staff at BMS have fostered tremendous emotional growth, self-confidence, physical coordination and creativity in our children. The education, support and love that has been given to our children is more than we could ask for.They always look(ed) forward to beginning each day at school and we are blessed to be a part of the BMS family.

We have been very impressed with Beyond Montessori School! Our son loves going to school and loves his teachers ( Ms. Lindsay, Ms. Natalie and Ms. Gin). They helped make the transition easy and have shown great compassion with our son.
