” Title: A Beacon of Educational Excellence: Our Experience at Fairview Glen Montessori School As parents deeply invested in our children’s education, finding the right learning environment was paramount. After extensive research and glowing recommendations from fellow parents, we enrolled our children at Fairview Glen Montessori School, and it has been a transformative journey for our family. From the moment we stepped foot into the school, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff’s dedication to fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment was evident, and we knew immediately that our children would thrive here. One of the standout features of the school is its commitment to personalized learning. The Montessori method allows children to learn at their own pace, fostering independence, curiosity, and a love for learning. Our children have been encouraged to explore their interests and pursue their passions, leading to remarkable growth both academically and personally. The classrooms at Fairview Glen Montessori are meticulously designed to promote hands-on learning and exploration. From the carefully curated materials to the inviting learning environments, every aspect is thoughtfully crafted to inspire creativity and critical thinking. Our children have flourished in this environment, developing a deep sense of confidence and a thirst for knowledge. Beyond academics, Fairview Glen Montessori places a strong emphasis on character development and social-emotional learning. Through daily interactions and community-based activities, our children have learned invaluable life skills such as empathy, communication, and problem-solving. The school’s emphasis on respect and cooperation has helped shape them into compassionate and empathetic individuals. The dedication and expertise of the teachers at Fairview Glen Montessori cannot be overstated. Their passion for education is palpable, and they go above and beyond to ensure that each child receives the support and guidance they need to succeed. We have been consistently impressed by their innovative teaching methods and their unwavering commitment to the well-being of our children. In addition to the academic program, Fairview Glen Montessori offers a wealth of extracurricular activities and enrichment programs. From music and art to outdoor exploration, our children have had the opportunity to discover new interests and talents outside of the traditional classroom setting. Overall, our experience at Fairview Glen Montessori School has been nothing short of exceptional. The school has not only provided our children with a top-notch education but has also instilled in them a lifelong love of learning and a strong sense of community. We are grateful to be a part of the FGM family and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking an enriching and holistic educational experience for their child. “

” This is my daughter’s third year with Fairview Glen Montessori, and every year I feel more grateful to the amazing staff at this school for taking such wonderful care of my daughter. I visited many facilities in the Oakville/Burlington area in my search for a suitable daycare, and something always felt amiss. After meeting with Mrs. Tindale at Fairview Glen, I finally felt confident (and even excited) for my daughter to enrol in the Toddler classes. Every staff member at this school has treated my family and I with kindness, understanding and respect, and have all made this school feel like a second home for my child. I cannot recommend Fairview Glen Montessori highly enough, and am extremely grateful for the staff’s commitment to their students’ education, individuality, and well-being. This will be one of the best things I ever do for my children, I’m sure. “

” We had a terrible experience at Fairview Glen. Would not recommend at all! There is no green space for the children. The parking situation is a mess at drop off and pick up time. They often do not follow the menu samples they provide to parents and we found the same things being offered over and over again. The teachers and principal do not seem to care for the children. We found them very unprofessional and unable to follow their own policies. We now send our child to a different Montessori and are so much happier. Our son is too! Parents keep looking and move on, there are plenty of other good Montessori schools in the area. “

” We started our journey at Fairview Glen about nine years ago after visiting many schools and day care centers in the Milton and Burlington area. Our oldest child has since graduated and the youngest will be done in another year. So we can say that we know the school really well. The decision to go to Fairview Glen was not easy given that in our case it is a fair drive to get our kids to school every day. For about three years the driving involved ten extra hours a week on the road to school and back. So we sacrificed a lot to have our kids there in time spent and a decade of tuition fees. We have become firm believers in the Montessori teaching and the way it is applied at the school. The staff have been stable through the entire nine years which is a testimony of the school’s ability to retain their excellent teaching and support staff. The environment is friendly and conducive to academic excellence and exploration. My son who graduated from the school a year ago thinks that having him in Fairview Glen has been the best decision we could have done. He thinks that he and his fellow Fairview Glen graduates are far ahead of their peers in other schools. “

” A wonderful learning environment where children are encouraged to treat themselves and others with respect and dignity. I feel the staff are very caring and willing to work with you to ensure a safe environment in which my children can reach their full potential. I have found the staff to be extremely receptive to feedback and very open to suggestions and ideas. My children love going to school and come home proud of what they have accomplished and excited to move onto the next task. They look up to their older classmates as their mentors and are happy to step in and lend a helping hand to their younger classmates as well. The small school size makes it feel more like a family then a school. The staff know the names of all the children in the school and the children all know each other by name as well. It’s truly a wonderful place to establish the foundation for a life long passion for learning. “
