WELCOME TO TREETOPS MONTESSORI SCHOOL
Independence, Concentration, Confidence
A Montessori-based early learning program inspired by Maria Montessori, where children develop academic excellence, emotional regulation, and independence through hands-on learning and uninterrupted work cycles.
OUR APPROACH
At Treetops Montessori, we are not a daycare. Rather, we are a Montessori school offering a full Casa program and now a Montessori Kindergarten year.
Children work independently in a carefully prepared environment, guided by Montessori-trained educators, through uninterrupted three-hour work cycles that build deep concentration, independence, and academic foundations in math, language, and practical life.
Our mixed-age classroom (3–6) allows younger children to learn from older peers, while Kindergarten students will deepen their learning and emerge as confident leaders. The children are then fully prepared for elementary school and beyond.
At Treetops, we protect what matters most in early childhood, which is long periods of focused, uninterrupted learning.
Children learn best when they are:
-
free to choose meaningful work
-
supported individually by teachers
-
given time to repeat and master skills
Our classrooms are carefully prepared environments that support natural development across language, mathematics, practical life, and cultural learning.

-
A good ratio of children to ECE and Montessori trained guides.
-
A curriculum of Karate, music, art, yoga, French, cooking, gardening as well as special focus on emotional intelligence honing

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We are a child-led licensed Montessori preschool and Kindergarten in West Vancouver that also serves neighbouring communities such as North Vancouver and Vancouver families. With our progressive and holistic early childhood education philosophy, we understand that each child has unique needs and interests. We provide the caring environment and interactive tools your child needs to thrive to the best of their abilities at Treetops Montessori in the early learning years.
When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave Treetops Montessori, they’re more confident and independent, fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives with a solid Montessori education.
