Caledon East, Ontario, March 27, 2025— Caledon Hills Montessori School is celebrating a milestone year as it marks its 25th anniversary. Since its founding in 2000, the school has been a pioneer in Montessori preschool education in the Caledon area, providing high-quality early childhood education to hundreds of families in the region. The school was established as the first Montessori preschool in the area that filled up the gaps in early childhood education.

A Vision Comes to Life

Caledon Hills Montessori School was founded with a clear vision to provide an authentic Montessori preschool experience for local children.

A representative of Caledon Hills Montessori School stated that the goal of Montessori education is to help children develop socially, emotionally, and academically. "With Montessori activities for children that encourage learning at their own pace, we have always aimed to create an environment that nurtures curiosity and independence."

The Evolution of the School and Its Impact

Over the years, the school has expanded to include a variety of programs, including full-day Montessori preschool and Montessori kindergarten programs, providing parents with flexible options to suit their children’s needs. The school has earned a reputation for having high-quality education based on Montessori child development methods.

In 2000, Caledon Hills Montessori School started with just a handful of students in a small space, operating out of the Caledon East United Church. Today, it serves over 300 families from surrounding areas like Erin, Caledon, Caledon East, Mono Road, Bolton, Palgrave, and Inglewood.

A Unique Approach to Early Childhood Learning

The key to the school’s success has been its focus on providing authentic early childhood Montessori programs that follow the principles established by Dr. Maria Montessori. Programs at the CHMS provide children with the freedom to explore and learn in a prepared environment that encourages independence and a love for learning.

Caledon Hills Montessori School places a strong emphasis on the use of Montessori materials and Montessori activities for kids that encourage cognitive, social, and emotional development.

In the school’s Montessori toddler programs and kindergarten programs, each curriculum is designed to meet the needs of children at different stages of development that build self-confidence and a sense of responsibility.

A Community That Grows Together

Throughout its 25 years, the school has had a lasting impact on the local community. The school has not only provided children with a foundation for lifelong learning but has also become a place where families can connect, learn, and grow together. Many of the parents whose children have attended the school are local educators who have firsthand experience of the benefits of Montessori education.

"We are honored to be a part of Caledon’s amazing community," the representative stated. “Our success is a direct result of the families who have supported us over the years and the dedicated staff who bring the Montessori philosophy to life every day.”

Looking to the Future

As Caledon Hills Montessori School celebrates its 25th anniversary, the school continues to build on its legacy of offering high-quality, child-centered education. Looking forward, the school is focused on further making its program more advanced and fun and expanding its offerings as a trusted, licensed Montessori school in Caledon.
