Westside Montessori School

” We have been a very happy Westside family since 2018 and cannot recommend this school highly enough! Not only has it been an exceptional learning experience for our children (both academically and social-emotionally) but Westside has also been a source of cherished community and connection within which my husband and I have developed many friendship with like minded parents (who similarly deeply value education, are intentionally raising their children and love urban living) and felt supported to grow and learn as parents. Liz, the director and also a Westside parent, has an amazing ability to hire staff that model grace, compassion and curiosity and families that ae raising children who will grow into honourable adults! “

” I have found this school to be the best investment we have ever made in our child. I found the character of the owner, Liz, to be absolutely beyond reproach. Anytime I had concerns about anything, she was there to hear me out and address them. In all of our encounters I have felt heard, seen and acknowledged. My child is happy and thriving at the environment this school provides, and we plan to keep him there until grade 8. I look at Westside and I marvel, not at the fact that it’s Montessouri, but at the way everyone is with the children — the emotional attunement and respect of their autonomy. I feel so grateful for this school’s staff and owner. “

” Having interacted with the director’s children personally, I can ensure you this Montessori is excellent. They are one of the most respectful, kind and fun children to be around! You can really tell the quality of the education at this school by the way the director raises her own children, overall just best in the city. “

” An incredibly welcoming and nurturing place to be, the Westside Montessori clearly cares about children and their families. The wonderful director, staff and parent community are aligned with placing the well being and learning of children and families first. Parenting isn’t always easy, so having a thoughtful, caring and supportive community like this one, is essential. “

” Both our sons are at Westside Montessori School and we all enjoy it very much. The whole team led by Liz is amazing and we are confident our little ones have the best education, tailored to their needs. We keep being amazed by how efficient the Montessori method has been with our children and us as parents. The school also offers some very good and valuable parents education content about the Montessori philosophy and more. We started with Summer camps, and enrolled them later for the Toddler program, then Casa (Kindergarten) and Lower elementary. We would definitely recommend the Westside Montessori School to any parent, as we already convinced our closest friends in the area. “
