Children’s House

Inspiring young minds, nurturing independence

Shaping young minds from the start

At Ashwood Glen, we believe the early years are the most powerful for shaping a child’s confidence, curiosity, and character.

Our Children’s House program, rooted in the Montessori philosophy, welcomes children ages 18 months to 6 years into a warm, thoughtfully prepared environment where independence is encouraged, learning is hands-on, and wonder is part of every day.

Guided by caring, expert educators, children explore, observe, and engage with purposeful materials that spark discovery and build a deep love of learning.

Ashwood Glen is a school to grow with — supporting your child’s development from toddlerhood through to a future-ready IB education.

“The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”

– Maria Montessori

Montessori school in Burlington, ages 18 months to 6 years

Is Children’s House a preschool, a daycare or a kindergarten?

One Montessori program, thoughtfully designed for two stages of development. In Toddler Program (18 months to 3 years), children build independence, language, motor skills, and practical everyday skills such as using a spoon or buttoning a shirt. In Casa (3 to 6 years), they build on this foundation through language, early reading and writing, mathematics, geography, and science.

What is the classroom like?

Our Montessori program features mixed-age classrooms and thoughtfully prepared environments where children learn through hands-on Montessori materials. Casa learning is further enriched with specialized French and gym classes.

What does the day look like?

Self-directed Montessori work, with outdoor play, nutritious snacks, lunch and a rest period.

What are the hours?

Monday to Friday. Before- and after-care extends the day from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM to support working families.

What happens after Casa?

At Ashwood Glen, we offer a seamless educational journey from Toddler through Grade 8. Children begin in our nurturing Montessori Toddler program, where they develop independence, confidence, and essential foundational skills. They then transition into Casa, where curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning continue to flourish. From there, students progress into our International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, building critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving skills while becoming confident, compassionate, and globally minded learners.
