FAQ
How is the Montessori Method integrated into our daycare curriculum?
The “prepared environment” in the classroom, as defined by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a cornerstone of the Montessori method. Here at Holland Marsh Montessori School, classroom supplies are carefully selected to aid in the growth of the students and act as lifelong tools. Each child receives a personalized education that prepares them for success in life, tailored to their own learning style, developmental stage, and interests in this carefully designed setting.
At Holland Marsh Montessori School, our mission is to awaken children’s inherent curiosity and help them develop into self-sufficient learners in a vibrant, diverse environment. By encouraging the relationship between individual feelings and artistic experiences, we elevate creativity and improve both emotional health and artistic expression.
How is a Montessori Daycare better?
Children cultivate natural interests in Montessori settings, which are free of rigorous timetables, unlike other daycares. This promotes more social contact as well as independent, hands-on learning. Montessori nurseries empower children to pursue their interests, fostering a lifelong love of learning.
Is the staff at Holland Marsh Montessori School certified?
The safety of the children is our utmost priority at Holland Marsh Montessori School. Every staff member at our institution has received comprehensive training in various fields, such as First Aid, Early Childhood Education, Registered Early Childhood Educator, Ontario College of Teachers, or a related discipline. Our employees also undergo a rigorous selection process that includes checks for vulnerable sectors and criminal records, guaranteeing the well-being of our students.
Is there a summer camp program available at Holland Marsh Montessori School?
Certainly! At Holland Marsh Montessori School, we provide a range of summer camp options tailored to different age groups as part of our childcare offerings. Our well-thought-out summer programs are designed to cater to the unique developmental requirements of each child. We offer a variety of captivating activities encompassing science experiments, drama, sports, music, arts and crafts, and environmental exploration.
Each week or session of our summer camp program revolves around a distinct theme, with each theme delving into exciting and diverse subjects. These themes span nature, space exploration, animals, sports, science and discovery, music, the performing arts, and more. They are thoughtfully selected to induce children’s curiosity and spark their creativity.
While our summer camp primarily emphasizes enjoyment and recreation, we have thoughtfully integrated educational components into the schedule. This creates an environment where children can acquire new knowledge in an enjoyable and laid-back manner. Our program includes reading exercises, structured learning activities, and opportunities for kids to explore new subjects.

Are report cards or progress reports provided for the children in your childcare programs?
Without a doubt! Reports for every child in every age group are part of the childcare program at Holland Marsh Montessori. Every child who attends our center uses the HiMama app. With the use of this app, we can keep parents informed about their child’s progress throughout the day by sending them photographs of their various activities, meals, potty breaks, naps, mood, and overall health. Additionally, we offer report summaries for young children—infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and primary school-age.
What should parents do in preparation for their child's enrollment at Holland Marsh Montessori School?
While Holland Marsh Montessori is well-stocked with instructional resources and facilities, there are a few items we recommend parents bring with them on their child’s first day. Families should provide nap bedding for children in the infant, toddler, or preschool classrooms. If your kid is not yet potty-trained or only wears diapers during nap time, we kindly ask that parents provide diapers, baby wipes, and any necessary lotions.
Every child, regardless of age, should bring a water bottle and sunscreen. We also recommend that parents supply a spare set of clothing for their child in case of unforeseen emergencies, messy art activities, or luncheon disasters. This planning will ensure that your child has a pleasant and worry-free day of care!
Is food given at your daycare center? What are your dietary recommendations?
Holland Marsh Montessori is well-equipped to meet your child’s dietary needs, owing to our in-house chef and kitchen.

We collaborate closely with parents to ensure that each child’s individual requirements are satisfied, whether they have dietary restrictions or medical concerns that necessitate special care. Our main priority is your child’s well-being and health, and we are dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all kids
Is there a designated nap schedule for infants and toddlers in your daycare program?
