This month we reflect on Maria Montessori‘s powerful vision in one of our favourite reads, “Education and Peace”. We share how we create peace in our classrooms through grace and courtesy, conflict resolution, respect and community responsibility. Creating peace is a daily practice and shows up and so many small moments.

Ever wonder what a morning in our classrooms looks like?

Children arrive from home and step into a calm, welcoming environment prepared just for them. They begin their day with choice, selecting activities that call to their curiosity and readiness.

You might see a child carefully pouring water, reading a book, striking the music bells; listening to each sound carefully, using real scissors to cut yarn, preparing a snack, or working on writing. Each activity has a purpose: strengthening concentration, coordination, independence, and early academic understanding.

The classroom is filled with beautiful natural materials designed for hands on exploration that invite children to move, discover, repeat, and master skills at their own pace.

In our mixed-age Casa community, learning is deeply social. Younger children observe and aspire, older children lead and mentor. Through shared work, children practice problem solving, communication, collaboration, and respectful choice every day.

And of course, all this thoughtfully guided by deeply passionate educators who observe attentively and care for each child based on their unique needs, personalities and interests.

Welcome to a joyful morning at our Christie Campus Casa classroom.
