As a new teacher I learned many skills from my wonderful co-teachers and learned qualities of generosity, caring and trust from the principal Rita Gausman. All through the years I have kept in touch with Rita Gausman and benefitted from her wisdom in managing my own Montessori classrooms. I cherish my days of teaching at Cornerstone and the valuable qualities of work ethics, cooperation and kindness learned from Rita and Helga. Way to go Cornerstone Montessori!

Regular updates on our phones and email, communication on events or disruptions. These owners have started sending pictures of each kid doing an activity to their parents every day's. They email the menu for the week to all the parents. Besides the new owners being great, the place was already stellar. The meals are made on-site by a chef. No chef-boy-r-dee garbage from a can like other places. The food is cooked from scratch and made fresh daily. The kids get great meals everyday. They have the chef come by each classroom once a week and the kids make their own foods as well. This is the meal plan for this Monday as an example Morning snack : rise and shine veggie hash, served with milk and fresh fruit Lunch : beef (or tofu) and broccoli stir fry, served over wild rice Afternoon snack : carrot banana flax muffins, served with veggies and dip The location is right on the highway exit so you can drop off and get directly onto to the highway. Early dropoff @ 7am pickup @5pm no extra charge. They occasionally have date nights so parents can drop off their kids and enjoy a night together (i believe they charge 10 dollars for the evening which is very reasonable) The curriculum is amazing, very focused on the kids learning new things and having a wonder to the process. The teachers all take the time to focus on your child. Teachers know your kid even if they aren't in that teachers class. Learning is very hands on. There is an emphasis on physical activity and the playground is well equipped. We were worried initially but our kid,loved it there and has been there since 1 year old till 4 years old. All the kids are very well mannered and you can see that they are taught to be gracious to each other. Great place, the cost is a bit higher but in line with what you get in return. Teachers that are engaged with your child, fresh nutritious meals, extended hours, daily updates on your phone, web cam to peek I'm on your child in the day, amazing facility, playground and a vested interest in your child's well being. Love this place, hope the rest of my kids schools are even half as good.

Miss Manaal, the owner/teacher is very patient, very loving and caring to all the kids. My daughter talks about her all the time and how shes going to miss her. The prices is also fair, considering the amount of time and money Manaal spends on DIY projects for the kids as well as providing healthy snacks! When we first toured the preschool, I loved loved the space indoor and outdoor! It is so inviting for all the kids, lots of different toys to explore. I also loved that there are only 8 students per teacher ratio. The fieldtrips and outdoor trips weekly are My daughter's favourite, she learned to explore the woods and its creatures, one of her favourites is the banana slugs. Also, Manaal takes photos of the kids and activities they have done for the week, which I thought was thoughtful as I never really get an answer when I ask my daughter what shes done in class. I can't say enough good things about this place! We will definitely miss Manaal and miss Karen Kristine M
