It might have been helpful to receive some sort of daily report: sleep time, eating, toileting. But it was always easy to ask teachers at the end of the day. You could ask any teacher, and they would all be able to tell you about your child. An excellent program over all!

Our vision is that every child feels loved, respected, safe, inspired, challenged and empowered.

If you care about the wellbeing and development of your child, you would not send your kids here,…read morenot the vaughan campus anyways. The management is just awful and as a result the staff is over worked and miserable. All the good staff is quitting and those that are left really don't care about the kids or their jobs very much. My kids were constantly getting injured and having diaper rashes. The final straw was them deciding to keep a kid who was actively hitting and biting other children. My son was bit (broke skin), and that was the last day he attended the daycare. This place used to be good, but for the love of your kids don't send them here

I hope I will enlighten some parents who are thinking to bring their kids to Songbirds Montessori…read moreSchool especially in 2 Fisherman drive branch. As a parent, I witnessed how bad the management and staff of this school. Parents paid too much for the school fee but the quality is really poor. Students are not learning at all. The supervisor Patricia Cunha is the worst supervisor and lack of experience handling the job. Students didn't get their snacks because she changed the schedules. Whenever I ask something she can't give me the answer right away. She's not answering the phone and she is racist. The meal prepared is not healthy (which is always crackers every day). I caught 99% of the teachers there are eating more foods that supposed to be for students. I caught most teachers are on their phones (texting and calling while on their clock time). I caught some teachers yelling at their students. This is why I don't like my child to stay in this school anymore. Parents, please don't waste your money on this school.

Fantastic School + Great Teachers + Awesome Extramural Activities + Strong French Program!…read more They're big enough to offer the activities and services of a large school, and yet small enough that each student can be educated in their own individual way. My little guy especially enjoys the Down Hill Skiing and the Chess club, I like that he gets daily French and that he takes advantage of the French Clubs in the after school program. Parents can (voluntarily) help with trips and school outings (which provides a great opportunity to get to know the other kids and the teachers). But probably the most important thing is that the teachers care about the students and are committed to them.

An amazing Montessori school - 4 years, 3 kids - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!…read moreFor those that haven't been exposed to montessori education - you should actually visiting a classroom to understand the difference in the environment and the interaction between kids, their peers, and teachers. I work in education and visit schools and teachers around the world and I can confidently say that Dearcroft is easily one of the top learning environments I've had the privilege of participating in. I am proud to put my 3 children in this school despite all the other great options available in Oakville. The teachers are personable, empathetic and caring -but true to Maria's Montessori's teachings they develop the whole child. My kids are challenged academically, and are critical thinkers in their day to day thanks to what they've learned there. My wife and I are regularly approached in public and complimented on how well our kids behave, and how independant and caring they are for others - love that! The other kids I've interacted with from Dearcroft are exceptional - they are respectful, industrious, and helpful. It's an absolute pleasure to volunteer for school events and interact with the school community. Some of the other schools we looked at had a 'sterile' and 'luxury' feel to them that I didn't like -- Dearcroft feels more down to earth and more focused on growth of the children, and the community of the school.
