Many parents thinking about preschool need to consider the advantages of sending their child to Montessori school instead.
What
Montessori is a popular choice among parents for their child's early years, and it's important to know the advantages of Montessori over preschools. Preschools offer daycare that may be - in some cases, such as private school - focused on early childhood education. These are structured learning environments for children before they begin Kindergarten.
Montessori is an entirely distinct alternative complete with its own learning style, methods and philosophy.
Both offer excellent options for our young learners. Examine both to determine the best fit for your preschool-aged child. Full day or half day learning for young children is offered by most provinces across Canada, but there are distinct advantages to trying preschool in a private school.
Early Childhood Education at private schools:
Programs focus on learning
Offer children a head-start on their education
Gives children taste of what school will be like
Some have funding available for parents
Sometimes ECE tuition may be eligible for tax credits
Some offer advanced education at early ages (i.e. Elmwood school offers International Baccalaureate for children three years of age).

Vs. Montessori schools
While a popular choice for pre-school, Montessori is for children from infancy to 18 years (depending on school)
Versus public and private schools, Montessori offers a child-centred learning environment (where the teacher is the center of the classroom in any other environment).
Teachers don't lecture, but guide in Montessori. They assist students with discovering their true potential through challenging experiences to be completed uninterrupted in a learning environment
Student directed learning is emphasized vs. learning based on a prescribed curriculum
Montessori promotes a hands-on approach to learning versus a focus on seatwork.
They aim to develop all aspects of child's psyche – emotional, spiritual and intellectual – to develop well-rounded individuals.
