Waldorf kindergarten

Hi I am Faiza Barbar, this daycare is more than 40 years old.We have kinder, preschool, toddlers and osc. This daycare used to have two locations downtown and at Princeton elementary school. We are a school daycare. The child will go to grade one knowing how to read and write. Eman is my daughter and was subbing for Alta as a child and was hired as a director when she was 18 years old and I was assisting her. She has Early Childhood Diploma, Montessori teacher and is still learning as she is taking children psychology at the university of Alberta. I’m just shocked by the review from a person or a parent as he called himself Jesse and we never ever had someone with this name before. We are an honest, respectful, educated, and experienced daycare. The human being wouldn’t insult another human by the way he is or the health problem he suffers from. Every child that has crossed our lives has left marks in our hearts forever. At Alta Montessori we embrace all races, and cultures. We do not accept any form of racism, bullying, and hatred. I was 17 years old when I became Canadian so I am Canadian more than I am Arab. We welcome every nationality and we put them in our lives and hearts. This is what Alta Montessori Daycare is about. I feel sorry for the person who stated such a hateful review but when they insult people like that it means they have hatred for everyone.

Very informative and interesting. Sounds like a wonderful education. Thank you.

I've discovered Alta Montessori about two years ago. It's an amazing daycare/OSC that is not only subsidized (therefore, have to adhere to regulations and occasional surprised inspections from the government) but believes in the Montessori learning objectives with very competitive child care cost. If you want to provide your child with a great foundation prior to Kindergarten, this is the place. My daughter (who's currently 4) know how to spell, identify, and write her name. She can also do basic mathematics, pronounce proper English words, and problem solve (think outside the box concept). Besides all those great things, Mrs. Barbar treats the kids like her own, she will discipline (not physically or yelling or anything like that) like how any mother would want to teach when a child does something that is wrong. For example, I've witness her telling another OSC child that she's asked that child not to do that numerous times and why she would think that's a good idea. They were in another room, so I know it wasn't an act. So, if you want a Montessori program that incorporates realistic value learning environment for your child and their growing minds, this is a wonderful option.

Christmas Fair is Wonderful !!!

My son attended the daycare for over 2 years and he changed, developed, improved and learned so much in that time. I am so blessed, thankful and grateful to all the staff that guided and assisted my son on the day by day basis. They helped him with his speech and language, with listening to and following instructions, with making friends and learning how to share and treat others with kindness, just to name a few things. They are all extremely hard working, committed and dedicated to the children and strive to develop the best environment and atmosphere for the children. Would absolutely recommend if you need a space for your child to thrive!

My son loves manor road nursery school! The staff is truly amazing, they are so loving and welcoming to all children. Being a co-op there’s always the option for parent involvement in the school which is great! My son makes lots of artwork and crafts, they are wonderful keepsakes! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking for child care!

My daughter has been here for a year, it is the best day care facility that I have seen. She has learned so much and not only in terms of content but also in terms of manners and how to interact with other children and individuals. All of the staff are amazing and go above and beyond to make sure that the kids are comfortable and have everything they need.

Waldorf education is the most beautiful and powerful education I have ever encountered. Its quality is unparallelled and can be evidenced in its graduates. My grandsons, who have been the beneficiaries of Waldorf education since their preschool years, are extraordinary young people. Their river runs deep

We love OWS. Amazing educators and community. Our children have experienced the early years programs as well as the grades levels - all of which have been wonderful. Would absolutely recommend!

To the person who is calling himself Jesse honestly if you had your kids here you would know that is not true. This is one of the best daycares I have ever come across and for you to put down the teachers that is a super low. That is disrespectful and inappropriate. I am going to make sure that this comment be removed.They treat the kids with nothing but respect and they are always outside playing I am a parent and my son comes here
