The Society of Richmond Children's Centres was founded in 1995 by a small group of community volunteers. The Society opened its first children's centre in Terra Nova in 1996. Since that date, the Society has opened the Cook Road and the Bowling Green Road Children's Centres. A dedicated group of community and family members make up our board of directors and oversee the operation of the Society.
Butterfly Progressive Montessori Preschool follows a progressive approach to the Montessori method. We offer a half day preschool program, which promotes the acquisition of new skills through exploration and manipulation of classroom materials as per the traditional Montessori methods. However, we believe in cultivating the whole child and we know the importance of allowing creativity to promote growth. With this belief, our progressive methods add some flexibility to our Montessori curriculum. We regularly have the children participate in the decisions behind their work. The teacher’s role in the classroom is to foster and satisfy the curious minds of the children in the areas of practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics, culture and art.
