First Day of School at Montessori Casa!
Dear Montessori Casa Families,
Welcome back! We are so excited to begin another year together at Montessori Casa. This past week, our team has been preparing the classrooms with care so they are ready to welcome the children with beauty, order, and joy.
The start of a new school year is always a time of transition, and we are here to support each child—and each family—as we return to the rhythms of community life. At the heart of our work is nurturing the human spirit, and we look forward to seeing the children’s joy and individuality unfold as they settle into their environments.
A quick reminder: our work cycles begin at 8:45 a.m. and the school day ends at 3:30 p.m. We are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for families who need before- or after-school care. Please also review the Welcome Package email for details on what to bring, drop-off routines, and other important administrative information.
We’re grateful to be on this journey with you and look forward to a beautiful year ahead.
Warmly,
Father’s Day BBQ

Re-Enrolment Deadline
Dear Montessori Casa Parent Community,
Our Re-Enrolment Deadline for our upcoming 2023-2024 School Year at Montessori Casa is on Friday February 28th 2025. This is a critical deadline every year that establishes the number of externally available spaces for the upcoming school year.
Please prioritize this important task and be sure to check your emails for Re-Enrolment details and guidelines.
Casa Parent Observations
Part One: Casa Parent Observation begin from February 10th 2025 until February 21st 2025. Please check your emails to sign up for a date/time to come observe in your child’s class.
Part Two: Following the Parent Observations we will be hosting a Coffee, Tea and Montessori Morning to discuss and share our observations. Parents who observed are expected to attend.
Senior’s Holiday Tea
Senior’s Holiday Tea/Concert Rehearsal
There will be a Seniors Tea at the upstairs level of our building on December 11th 2024. We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have a practice run before the big day and also support our local community of elders.
There have been many studies on intergenerational learning for both seniors and children. If your children have grandparents at home or close by, you can affirm to have witnessed a harmonious union. Children understand the importance of elders and these interactions have a calming effect on most children. Our young children will bring energy with them that can be infectious and make a tremendous impact for some elders who may not have family or anything else planned for the holidays. We feel honoured to offer some excitement and give them some joy.
At 2:45 pm we will head upstairs and sing for 10-15 minutes and head back downstairs around 3:00 pm.
