At Strongsteps Children's Learning Centre, our goal is to offer a program that meets the intellectual, moral, social, emotional, and physical needs of each child. Our curriculum planning involves the integration of long-term and short-term decisions with daily emergent responses to children’s interests and ideas. Teachers facilitate a balanced approach to incorporate children’s voices, ideas, and interests with a teacher-led focus for learning. Creating opportunities for children to take an active role in decision-making is important, as the greater degree of choice that children have in their learning, the greater the degree of involvement in their learning.

Our Preschool Teachers:, Pegeen Hammer - Pegeen was introduced to the Montessori method of education when her youngest child attended a Montessori preschool. She was fascinated by the Montessori theories and methods and chose to embark on her own path to become a Montessori Early Childhood Educator. Pegeen received her diploma in Montessori Education at Western Montessori Teacher's College and went on to complete her certificate in Early Childhood Education. I strive to bring to my preschool class a rewarding, hands on learning environment where each child is treated as the wondrous individual that they are. As a Montessori teacher, it is my job to follow the children's special sensitive periods and present learning materials to aid in the accomplishment of independence, competence and confidence.

Testimonials:, When our daughter had to go to school we didn't specifically go looking for Montessori we just knew that good enough was not the standard that we wanted to set for our child. I had a horrible experience in public school so I wanted private; Dad had a great experience in public school so he felt differently. I conceded and we visited several public schools.
