Yorktown Montessori School, North York, ON

My daughter was at Yorktown Montessori for 3 years (age 3 - 6). The credit for the transformation from a toddler to a confident, independent, smart and caring 6 year old in most parts goes to Yorktown. The staff is highly dedicated and provides the individual attention that “your” child needs. A wide variety of things / concepts in Math, English, Science, Geography, French etc. are introduced to the kids. It is because of the teaching at Yorktown that my daughter (who will be going to grade 1 in September) can already read Grade 1 – 2 books with ease and solve Grade 1 Math problems. In addition to the academics, the extra-curricular activities really make the children all-rounders. My most favourite part are the semi-annual concerts in which ALL the students participate. It’s a true joy to see the hard-work that the staff and children put towards it and its truly proud to see your child on perform on stage. Another aspect that I really appreciated was - having a range of 3 – 6 years old in the same classroom, I found is highly beneficial both to the younger and older kids equally. While the younger kids get an opportunity to learn from the older classmates, the older one’s get to mentor the younger ones and in the process develop leadership skills and enhance communication skills. I highly recommend Yorktown Montessori for an all-rounded development and excellent staff to prospective parents.

Two of my kids attend Yorktown and it is a wonderful Montessori school focused on academics with a good balance of physical activity, music, dance and French and Mandarin language education. The teachers are excellent and the small class sizes greatly contribute to creating a rich learning environment for my kids who have thrived there. I highly recommend this school!

Excellent school! Our daughter attended it since she was two and half and just graduated this month. We sincerely appreciate the education and care provided. Also we were amazed by the improvement of the child! To summarize. Yorktown has: 1. Highly professional teachers and staff who truly spent the time and effort to build the bonding with the child and parents. 2. Tailored education based on their understanding of the child. The teachers worked closely with us so that we all understand the strength, weakness and issues of the child. Due to our daughter's earlier communication issue, we had so many meetings with different types of professionals and special trainers. The teachers even incorporated suggestions from the special trainers into the daily teaching activities to help our daughter. 3. Emphasis on leadership, independence, responsibility and confidence. We saw dramatic change/improvement of our daughter in the last 3 years, especially the last year! The child came out of her shell and blossomed! This is not only due to the continuous effort of the school but also due to the fact that the 3rd year of the Montessori program is critical. For those of you who are familiar with Montessori program, it's grouped by children across three years. In the 3rd year, the student becomes the 'senior' one in the class and is given lots of opportunity to help and lead the younger classmates. So for those of you who have sent your child to Montessori for the first two years, please don't miss the 3rd year since it is the time to harvest!! Great job Yorktown!

Our four year old son and daughter have been attending Yorktown Montessori School for a couple years now and we couldn’t be happier. The principal and teachers are genuinely really nice and caring people and our kids have been learning tons. We had visited several other daycares and Montessori schools in the North York / Willowdale area before choosing Yorktown. For us, it ultimately came down to the breadth of the Yorktown program, which in addition to the usual curriculum also offers French, Mandarin, and dance. Our kids have really enjoyed being there and we highly recommend the school to parents looking for a fun, caring and educational environment for their kids.

It is one of the best education Institute. I see major transition in my child who has become so much independent, confident and academically developed. They have great qualified teachers who guide children so well. As a working mom I am so happy and feel relieved at work place since my child is happy and comfortable here. Principle is so polite and nice lady who also gives suggestions to improve my child's growth. I would recommend this great Montessori school to other parent
