Montessori Beginnings has been an established preschool since 2000. For over 10 years, we have created a warm, positive and fun program for children between the ages of 30 months to 5 years. We offer daily Montessori lessons as well as numerous field trips and guest visitors throughout the year. We also include circle time, crafts, show and tell, baking/cooking and physical education. We look forward to having the opportunity to work with you and your children to help create a memorable preschool experience for them.
Montessori Beginnings Preschool & Childcare in Maple Ridge provides a structured, nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and develop independence through proven Montessori education methods. Serving families throughout Maple Ridge, the centre offers both preschool programs and full-day childcare designed to support busy parents while delivering meaningful early learning experiences.
The preschool program focuses on core developmental areas such as math, language, science, practical life skills, arts, and movement, all within a hands-on, engaging classroom setting. Full-day childcare runs throughout the week with a balanced schedule that includes circle time, themed learning activities, outdoor play, and creative exploration.
With an emphasis on curiosity, confidence, and foundational skill-building, Montessori Beginnings creates a positive environment where children can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
At North Rd, we strive to provide a positive nurturing environment, where children can develop and enhance their intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physical needs. Children choose where in the classroom they want to work and move about freely, choosing activities. Students use and manipulate materials that appeal to the senses, is purposeful in nature, and practice real life experiences. The materials are self-teaching and through practice and repetition of these materials and activities, the children develop concentration and master their work. Multiple age groups help the children to learn from each other while practicing to become leaders. Children become academically prepared by working with materials in the areas of Math, Language, Geography and Culture. Children learn to value and respect each other in a safe, child-friendly environment that prepares to help them learn not only about their, body, mind and spirit but also embracing family, community and environment.
The center facilitates an educational based program to develop the necessary skills for school academics and a play based program to allow us to focus on developing socialization skills.
