The Comfort of a Home Environment

Why It Matters

Traditionally, Montessori schools are set up in home-like environments to support children’s emotional transition and provide a nurturing space. Our school’s home-inspired design fosters comfort and security, making it easier for children to feel at ease and adjust seamlessly to their Montessori journey. This approach, rooted in Montessori principles, allows children to build independence within a space that feels familiar and safe.

Natural Playground for Exploration

Outdoor Fun

Our playground is set on conservation land, offering children a natural environment to explore. We’ve incorporated elements that encourage imagination, physical activity, and curiosity, creating an outdoor experience that complements the Montessori philosophy of learning through exploration.

Thoughtfully Designed Classrooms

Learning Spaces

Our classrooms are spacious, filled with natural light, and designed with child-sized furnishings and Montessori materials. Each room provides children with the opportunity to explore independently, engaging in hands-on activities that foster learning and development at their own pace.

A Kitchen That Nourishes and Teaches

Healthy Choices

Our commercial-grade kitchen is dedicated to preparing nutritious meals with minimal sugar and preservatives, introducing children to a variety of foods and flavors. This emphasis on healthy eating supports their physical growth and well-being, making nutrition a natural part of daily life.
Children also participate in age-appropriate food-related activities that teach independence and responsibility, such as setting up for meals or helping to tidy their space. Our kitchen space, guided by Montessori values, integrates healthy habits with hands-on learning.

The Rich Heritage of Harrop House

Our Historic Home

Built in 1870, the Harrop House is a classic colonial mansion constructed with local limestone, symbolizing the rich history of Milton, Ontario. This unique setting enhances our Montessori program, offering children a connection to their community’s heritage within an inspiring environment for learning and growth.

An Iconic Milton Landmark

The Harrop House originally stood on a vast 2,000-acre estate, embodying the timeless charm of a gracious era. The home’s distinguished features include large windows, deep window wells, and intricate woodwork that reflect a bygone period of craftsmanship and care.

A True Community Treasure

After being purchased by the Harrop family in 1912, this mansion became a cornerstone of the community. The Harrops raised their family here and contributed significantly to the local area, making this home a symbol of continuity and community.

A Place for Learning and Growth

Today, the Harrop House offers a peaceful, historic setting where children are guided on a path of exploration and learning. By transforming this mansion into a Montessori school, we honor its legacy while supporting the next generation’s development in a space filled with character and charm.
