Are you ready for the return to school? 🍎

Or maybe this is your child’s very first school experience.

At Lodestar Montessori, we offer a personalized Montessori education for children ages 3–14, with smaller class sizes and a strong sense of community.
If you’re looking for a school where your child is truly known, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace, we’d love to chat.

There’s still time to join us this September! ✨

Why Montessori for the Elementary years?

Because children are capable of so much more than simply memorizing facts.

Montessori elementary students are encouraged to ask questions, follow their interests, and make meaningful connections across every subject. A fascination with space might lead to reading, writing, math, science, history, and art—all connected through authentic learning that sparks curiosity.

✨ Low student-to-teacher ratios allow educators to truly know each child and provide individualized guidance.
✨ Children follow their interests while building strong foundations in literacy, mathematics, science, geography, history, and the arts.
✨ Hands-on learning develops critical thinking, creativity, and confidence.
✨ Meaningful time outdoors fosters curiosity, resilience, movement, and a deep respect for the natural world.
✨ Emotional well-being is just as important as academic growth. Children learn empathy, conflict resolution, self-regulation, and how to be caring members of a community. (And yes... we spend just as much time talking through friendship problems as we do long division. 😊)
✨ Mixed-age classrooms encourage leadership, collaboration, and learning from one another.
At Montessori, we don't believe children should fit into one way of learning.

We believe learning should be built around the child.
When children feel seen, supported, and inspired, they don't just achieve academically. They become confident, compassionate, and lifelong learners.

That's the Montessori Elementary difference.

☀️ Summer is just around the corner! ☀️

Have you figured out your summer camp plans yet?

We still have space available in some of our camp groups! Each week features a new theme, curated crafts, exciting activities, outdoor adventures, and plenty of opportunities for fun and friendship.

And for campers ages 4+, we head to the beach each week. It's always a camp favourite and often the best day of the week! 🌊🏖️.

Spaces are limited, so don't wait.

Register today and join us for a summer full of adventure, creativity, and memories! ☀️✨

We are excited to share that our infamous Coach Jay is offering a women's self-defense workshop on Saturday, June 13th!

Our students will be envious that their own moms get a Coach Jay class!

10% off the registration fee for current Lodestar moms!

Please reach out to Jason directly if you have any questions.

Behind every child who feels safe, seen, and deeply loved is someone quietly giving their whole heart. Today we celebrate all the incredible mothers and caregivers whose love shapes our community in the most meaningful ways.

Happy Mother’s Day. 🌷🌷
