Is this an accredited Montessori school?

No accreditation or membership from a recognized Montessori body (AMI, AMS, or Montessori Canada) is on file for this listing. Because "Montessori" isn't a protected trademark in the US or Canada — a 1967 USPTO ruling put the term in the public domain — any school can use the name regardless of how closely it follows the method. That doesn't mean this school isn't authentically Montessori; it means accreditation status isn't the way to check here. Ask the school directly about their teacher training (look for AMI or AMS-trained staff) and ask to observe a classroom work cycle.

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.

Reviews

Parents consistently praise Montessori Discovery Garden for its dedicated staff, particularly director Ms. Bonnie and teacher Ms. Isabel, and credit the school's Montessori approach with building their children's independence, confidence, and academic skills. The warm, home-based environment with small class sizes, full-time year-round schedule, and connection to nature through a garden and animals appeals to working families seeking an alternative to typical preschools. Parents report smooth transitions, strong community, and children who thrive academically and emotionally under the school's structured yet nurturing methodology.
