Why choose Montessori
for your child?
Children learn to be: organized, self-reliant, respectful, cooperative, confident, and develop the ability to take responsibility for their own actions.
What does Montessori mean?
The essence of Montessori education is that every child is treated with respect, given freedom within the limits of a carefully structured environment, and allowed to develop naturally at his or her own pace.
When to start a Montessori education?
"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." Dr. Maria Montessori in The Absorbent Mind

The school operates between the hours of 7:00am to 6:00pm
With such a young and growing community surrounding YMS, we are confident that our school is a valued addition to the community. York Montessori School is licensed by the ministry of Child and Youth Services under the Day Nursery Act.
We hold a license issued by the ministry and are subject to regular inspections by them. We are also required to comply with Day Nursery Standards relating to our daily operations, facilities, records, and including, among other items regular background checks, CPR and first aid training for the school staff.

We employ highly educated and qualified Montessori trained teachers who have had their training at a MACTE accredited or AMI teacher-training programme and we are a proud member of the CCMA (Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators). York Montessori School provides children with an excellent Montessori education while providing exceptional childcare.

YMS accommodates two age groups. A toddler group-which consist of 16 months to 2.5 years and a preschool group- better known as Casa, which consists of 2.5 to 6 year olds.

We provide healthy nutritious meals and snacks and an environment where a child learns to love his or her world and truly take care of it. We also have extra curriculum activities such as music, dance, French, gardening and art as well as weekly themes.

We play an active role in our community and acknowledge and celebrate one another’s cultures and beliefs.

YMS is dedicated to keeping a close relationship with parents.
