Is this an accredited Montessori school?

This school describes itself as "Montessori-inspired" (or similar) rather than a full Montessori program, and has no accreditation or membership from a recognized Montessori body (AMI, AMS, or Montessori Canada) on file. That usually means the school borrows some Montessori materials or philosophy without following the complete method -- worth asking directly what "inspired by Montessori" means in their classroom day-to-day.

Accreditation is not the same as an operating licence. A provincial/state child care licence or private school registration only confirms a school is legally allowed to operate — it says nothing about whether the teaching method is Montessori.

Teacher credentials matter too. Ask how many lead teachers hold AMI, AMS, or MACTE-accredited teacher training — a strong signal independent of the school's own accreditation status.
