Testimonials
We looked and toured many other schools before we decided on Kinderhaus Montessori. The teachers are very strict about the proper use of the Montessori material, which I found wasn’t true of a lot of the other Montessori schools in Calgary. They thoroughly explain the material to the children and we definitely see the benefit in our daughter at home! The teachers are friendly but firm with the children and easy to get along with. My daughter loves the music program at the school as well. My daughter has been attending this school since May of 2015, my only negative is that I wish I would have put her in sooner! The rates are very reasonable compared to the other schools we see. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a traditional Montessori experience for their preschooler.
Two of my kids attended Kinderhaus Montessori at the Millrise location and we are very happy with the experience. The teachers are stern but friendly and just what my children needed. I would recommend anyone who is interested to sit in to see just how the children behave. They often give updates on what the kids are learning and how they are doing. I have made requests for certain learning experiences and they were more than happy to accommodate. If you are looking for alternatives to pre-school or kindergarten in the area I highly recommend this school.
Excellent place for my 3 year old son! This is the best decision I made for his development and behaviour. I enrolled him in Kinderhaus Montessori Preschool Millrise in February last year. At that time he could barely speak English, he would not listen (I felt like the words would fly by his ear). I could see the difference in his behaviour by June. This year he started talking fluently in English and developed a passion to learn new letters and numbers. He can now identify the sounds of many different letters and write them as well. His writing is amazing!! Kinderhaus Montessori Preschool teaches students in a way I hadn’t seen before, students learn the sounds that lowercase letters make first, which is brilliant because it will help the students learn how to read faster than learning the names of uppercase letters first. Many many THANKS to Mrs. Jayasuria (the principal) and all the wonderful staff that my son loves!!!
My daughters like the preschool and they are happy to study there. After school, they told me they are happy and learned lots. I am satisfied with the preschool because my daughters are happy every day. Thank the teachers.
An amazing first preschool experience! Now It is second year that our son attending this Montessori school .The teachers are brilliant, and the environment truly fosters a family feeling! Really can’t say enough positive things! Kinderhaus Montessori Preschool provides a caring learning environment that gently introduces children to the school system.Our son has loved every moment!
Both of my kids really liked this school. The staff are very good to the kids and really add to their development. Never had an issue with anyone at the school. The school itself is filled with lots of educational activities and is a clean and safe place.
After touring literally a dozen other preschools, we chose Kinderhaus Montessori and I’m so glad we did as my daughter has truly thrived in this environment. Her confidence in herself and her abilities is amazing as she continues to advance to more difficult activities, guided by her warm and caring teachers. Most importantly though, it’s a safe, clean environment that my daughter enjoys being in, and she looks forward to going to school each day.
I have seen a very visible positive change in my daughter since she started attending the school. She had many attention and social issues when she started. The teachers take a real interest in her development and well being. She is there now in her second year and now shows a real passion for learning
This is the second year my son is attending the Montessori school and he absolutely loves the teachers and the music program. The prices are very reasonable. He has learnt so much and the classroom is very calm
Wonderful preschool…my daughter loves it and has learned so much!

Activities
Exercises of Practical Life
These are the everyday gestures, activities, and behaviours that the child sees performed by the adults. These exercises are exciting to children because they allow them to imitate adults. Imitation is one of the strongest urges during a child’s early years. These exercises help the children to develop their coordination of movement, patience and concentration.
Sensorial Materials
Using sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, the sensorial materials enable preschool children to order, classify, and comprehend their world. The Montessori sensorial materials help the child to distinguish, to categorize and to relate new information to what the child already knows.
Mathematics
Montessori presents mathematical concepts to children in a concrete, hands-on manner. When children have access to mathematical equipment in their early years, they can easily and joyfully assimilate many facts and skills of arithmetic.
Language
Young children have a natural sensitivity for language development that follows closely on the years when they learn to speak their native language. This fascination with languages often enables children to begin reading and writing before the age at which it is traditionally taught.
Cultural Subjects
The cultural lessons (Geography, Biology History, Science, Music, Art, and Nature Study) make the classroom come alive, allowing the children to feel connected to the global human family. Therefore, the subjects are not taught individually but as connected parts of a whole.
