DMS Montessori Preschool and Daycare Inc. is classified as a childcare/daycare facility according to the Ministry of Education and the CCEYA due to servicing children under the age of 6 years old.  We are a licensed facility that follows all of the Government of Ontario rules pertaining to operating a childcare center. 

DMS Montessori specializes in teaching the Montessori method of education and we live the philosophy each and every day.  We are also privately owned and because we are a school and not a typical daycare within our walls, we provide an elevated educational program that taps into the fullest potential of your child.   

We offer your child private Montessori education instead of going to Kindergarten in the mainstream school system.  Since receiving a complete Montessori educational cycle means staying for at least three complete years, we ensure that our authenticity provides you with exactly what you will expect out of this proven educational system.  Therefore, we highly recommend giving your child the best possible start to school that follows by keeping them with us during their Kindie years.  You won't regret it!
