Tender Treasures Montessori School

As a new parent, leaving your child alone with people you’ve met maybe just once (during registration) was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do to date. However, the staff at TTMS were so welcoming that it gave me a sense of comfort. I knew from the day I walked into the school that my child was going to be in good hands. TTMS provides a safe and structured learning environment for my little one. I’ve seen a HUGE difference developmentally as well as socially since my child started there. The staff at TTMS aren’t just educators to my little one, they have become good friends along the way!

Loved the school and everything about it , be it staff, infrastructure and mainly the principal. We cannot thank enough how TTMS has raised our child and we cannot find any other school like TTMS and really gonna miss the school a lot. We really appreciate how the staff and principal of the school personally get involved with every kid. Thanks for not letting us down and taking such good care of our child.

The minute I walked into TTMS I felt very comfortable. They make learning fun and creative. They ensure each child is involved and engaged. The teachers and staff are very friendly! They all care!Now that COVID has hit it has been challenging. However, TTMS has implemented policies and procedures that are working to keep us all safe. They go above and beyond protocol. I like how they are very informative about how they teach, take care of the school etc. They keep parents informed and still keep us involved even though we can not enter the school as well.They had provided us with a video on how they disinfect and clean the facility, toys/child work areas etc. This made feel more at ease and comfortable with my child attending there.TTMS shows exceptional childcare services and are valued very much.I thank everyone at TTMS for their hardwork and dedication for making everyone safe and happy!

TTMS is one of a kind school and the best accredited Montessori school to send your little ones to. My son started in toddler program and is now a casa student.My first impression was how nice, bright, spacious and clean the facility was. I’ve been to at least 6,7 centers before visiting TTMS so I had a good idea of what I was looking for. The building made me feel like even when you’re indoors, you wouldn’t feel boxed as you have tons of natural lights from big windows and 2-storey high ceilings. Everything is very organized and well-oriented. Each class has good sized designated washrooms which are equipped with proper stepping stool, and toilet seats. And again they are super clean. Meals are prep on site and breakfast always smell so yummy when I drop my son off in the morning.The teachers and staffs are professional and loving. Ms Bibi (the principal) is everyone’s grandma. She loves and knows each child. Ms Leytika is the supervisor and she helped me a lot with my concerns during my son’s transitions to Casa class. I cannot say enough good things about all of them. Ms Grace, Ms Joyce, Ashley, Ms Clara and all the other ones who have been caring and guiding my son’s first years of his life.

When I first walked in to Tender Treasures over a year ago while looking for the best placement for my son I immediately knew this was the one. It was clean, organized and most importantly the children and staff were all happy. I instantly had a great feeling but what really finalized my decision was seeing that the staff handling food were wearing hair nets. This may seem a small detail but it showed the level of care for food safety, our children’s health, and the respect for rules and regulations. I will tell you that of the many day care centers and Montessori schools visited in the area Tender Treasures was the only one to be following public health guidelines. Fast forward to Covid times and I had immense confidence that Tender Treasures would continue to go above and beyond when we returned back. I am so grateful for all the measures they have taken during this time to ensure the safety of our children as well as their staff. It cannot be easy but they take it very seriously while still maintaining that same happy and safe environment. It is nothing short of amazing all that they do and I am so grateful. While during the shutdown the teachers took their own time to send us videos of story time and circle time. My child loved seeing his teachers and I loved that they cared so much to maintain that connection and familiarity with the children. In general the Montessori approach is so beneficial, I see how it fosters independence and learning and my son thrives at Tender Treasures. His teachers in the toddler classroom are so wonderful and really provide a nurturing environment and my son truly loves them. I am so thankful for the continued care that Tender Treasures provides to ensure my son is in an environment in which he feels safe and that fosters his learning and development and I am even more grateful now, at a time of a global pandemic, to know that there is no better place for my son to be while I am at work. Thank you TTMS team for all you do, keep up the most amazing work you do, it is truly appreciated.

I'm writing this review to let you know that Tender Treasures Montessori School (TTMS) located at 171 Marycroft Ave, in Woodbridge.In order to make it easy for parents who are currently struggling to make an important decision as to which daycare to send their little angels to, I hope this review will help parents to make up their mind and end the struggle which I had 3 years ago, especially now with a very hard time due to COVID-19.When I was looking for a daycare, I had few criteria that the daycare must have so I can have a peace of mind after I drop my kids every day in the morning:1- Safety is a top priority: I want to make sure the place where I leave my kids for 10 hours every day is a safe place, we hear a lot of weird stuff happening here and there and don't want my kids to be one of those victims.2- Cleanliness: The place should be clean, has strict rules in place3- Good education program: so the kids can learn something and develop physically and psychologically and not just a place to spend the time till I pick them up after 10 hours, I didn't want to send my kids to a place like a storage place for 10 hours every day learning nothing.4- Food to be done on site and not brought from outside.I went to several daycare, some were good and some were miserable, but still had not met what I was looking for till I made that visit to TTMS. First, the warm welcoming, the click you feel when you enter the main door when you see how things are organized and clean, and when you go further by talking to the team, meet with the teachers who were screened to be really good whether in the infant, toddler or Casa classes. The owners of this daycare are on top of their business 24/7 with all the details, following up literally everything so you can be assured everything is taken care of. You can communicate with any teacher and with the owners every day and whenever you want if you have any concerns or opinions. The treatment my kids received was super, one of my kids has had pooping issues and the care he received from his toddler teachers is unbelievable, in the toddler classes, the teachers are like mothers to the kids. When you see your kids run towards their teachers when you drop them off in the morning means a lot, kids don't lie and this means the treatment they got during the day is really good, when the kids want to stay playing in the daycare at the end of the day when you want to pick them up and don't want to go home means a lot. Everyday you notice that your kids are learning something, from knowing songs, letters, numbers, learning certain important stuff through playing, you see them grow, balanced physically and psychologically. In short it is a very safe place, very caring staff, clean and you will have a peace of mind that your kids are in safe hands. I hope this review will end your struggle and help you to make your decision and stop looking further.

I can't say enough good things about this school. My son was in this school for roughly about 2 years and the progress we saw in him was beyond words. He learned a lot during the time he was with Tender. Fast forward 2 years later, my daughter was at the right age and we sent her to attend another Montessori in North York, thinking it should more or less be the same. It wasn't. Compare to Tender, the learning experiences was day and night. We always knew Tender was a good school but we came to appreciate it even more after my daughter's experience. Yes, I would highly recommend this school.

My daughter is currently enrolled in Tender Treasures Montessori School and I could not have made a better decision. My daughter is currently enrolled in the Toddler Program.I initially called to book a tour and spoke to the School Supervisor. She was extremely professional and pleasant over the phone. She accommodated my request for a tour on such short notice. When I arrived to the school I was amazed after the Supervisor let me in. The school is so open and bright which was extremely appealing to my eye. I must add it also smelled like fresh baked banana bread! The children looked so happy were working so nicely - a few of them greeted me at the door when I was touring the school.The teachers are very warm and professional. My daughter does not usually feel comfortable around new people however she quickly became comfortable at her new school.My daughter also needs to eat halal meals and I was very happy that Tender Treasures could accommodate that. I particularly like that they have an in-house cook who prepares fresh meals for the children daily.Overall my husband and I are very happy with our decision and would recommend this school highly to all families looking for quality care and education for their child!

There are simply not enough words to share that would even begin to capture the love, respect and trust we have for and in this wonderful school. It's not enough to refer to TTMS as simply a 'school.' TTMS has been our daughter's home away from home for 4 amazing and unforgettable years. Not a single day has passed where we were concerned about her safety or welfare. Mrs. Bibi, Mrs. Shakira and every single one of their dedicated staff weave love and attentiveness into all aspects of a child's experience here daily. From the moment we spoke with a representative over the phone, it was evident this is where our girl needed to be - that feeling was affirmed when we walked through the front door. We were greeted by a very clean, organized and welcoming space which was unmatched by other facilities we toured prior to enrolling at TTMS. As first time parents, we were scared and worried about the idea of placing her into the hands of anyone's other than our own but Mrs. Bibi & Mrs. Shakira quickly put these fears to rest. TTMS offers a lovely blend of strong academics with nurturance and care. Our girl started Grade 1 this past Tuesday and is proving to be well prepared on account of the skills acquired while at TTMS. To any parents looking for a beautiful and supportive environment which is clearly mindful of the needs of children coupled with a tremendously patient team of professionals who seek to hone strong relationships with families, TTMS is the best choice. Mrs. Bibi & Mrs. Shakira are always prepared to speak with parents, offer creative solutions where needed and work tirelessly to go above and beyond.Thank you, TTMS, for everything you have done!

We researched several childcare facilities before choosing TT. They were head-&-shoulders cleaner, friendlier, and more organized than the others we checked. They have been so helpful and caring; we feel so lucky to have our child attending. The COVID procedures they have put in place show how serious they take our childrens' health & safety. They are always keeping us in the loop and communication is seamless. Thank you to all the wonderful staff that are helping her blossom.
