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

Most reviews praise Preston Creek Montessori's experienced, caring teachers, clean facilities, and well-organized curriculum that supports child development and independence. However, one detailed review raises serious concerns about staff conduct, including arguments between staff in front of children, inadequate food service, inappropriate physical contact with children, yelling, and use of fear-based discipline—practices the reviewer felt contradicted appropriate childcare standards.
