Mission

The Montessori School of Regina, Inc., strives to create a respectful, peaceful Montessori community, where students can nurture and grow their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong, independent learning.

Vision

To make our school as the community’s choice for Montessori learning experience in Regina.

At Montessori School of Regina, we embrace four core values that shape our community and guide our approach to education:

Independence

Encouraging self-directed learning and fostering confidence in children to make their own choices.

Education

Providing a holistic, child-centered environment that nurtures intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Diversity

Celebrating the uniqueness of every individual and building a community that values inclusivity and cultural richness.

Respect

Promoting kindness, empathy, and mutual respect in all interactions, creating a harmonious learning environment. These values reflect our commitment to nurturing well-rounded, compassionate individuals.

PROGRAMS

Maria Montessori said, “Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.” At Montessori School of Regina, we believe in holistic education that fosters independence, diversity, and respect. We believe in the child’s natural ability to wonder and explore the World around them.  Providing an educational experience where every child can develop who they were made to be!

PRE-PRIMARY

Our Pre-Primary programs, starting at the age of 2.6 years, are offered at our three campuses, which are licensed childcare facilities under the Ministry of Early Years: Pasqua campus (3515 Pasqua St.), Hillsdale campus (3913 Hillsdale St.), and Mayfield campus (101 Mayfield Rd.). We also cater to kindergarten-age children, offering the program five days a week in accordance with the school calendar at each campus.

Under the direction of a Montessori head educator and an educational assistant, the children explore Montessori areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Cultural/Science, Math, and Language.

The Pre-Primary program is individualized to meet the unique needs of every student, providing them with free choice and movement throughout the classroom. Our program offers Montessori materials, engaging activities, vibrant art projects for creativity and exploration,and a music program once a week. We believe in the importance ofdeveloping the whole child: physical, cognitive, social, spiritual, andcreative.

ELEMENTARY

Our Elementary program is offered from grades 1 to 8. The Elementary Program is divided into three multi-grade classrooms – Lower Elementary (grades 1-2), Middle Elementary (grades 3-5), and Senior Elementary (grades 6-8). Our elementary programs are based on Dr. Maria Montessori’s observations on the second plane of development. During this stage of growth, students aged six to twelve are innately learning socialization, reasoning, peer identity, and moral development.

By following the Saskatchewan Curriculum and Guidelines, students engage in a personalized learning experience that accommodates their unique needs and interests. The Montessori approach encourages independence, choice, and collaborative learning, promoting the development of the whole child through thematic exploration and cosmic education. Progress is monitored through regular report cards and parent-teacher interviews, ensuring open communication about each child’s development.

Montessori’s “care of environment” is a practical life skill that teaches children responsibility, independence, and respect for their surroundings. This extends from simple tasks like wiping a table or sweeping to more complex ones like gardening, food preparation, or arranging flowers.
 
Activities like cleaning, organizing, and tending to nature, helps children foster independence and a sense of community. The ultimate goal is to develop environmental stewardship and a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things by involving children in the care of their physical world.

The Knobbed Cylinders are a Sensorial learning material used to help children develop visual discrimination of size and dimension, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination. The set consists of four wooden blocks, each containing ten cylinders with small knobs for griping. This beautiful material is self-correcting allowing children to identify and fix the mistake without adult intervention. What an amazing way to foster independence, concentration, logical reasoning, and sense of accomplishment 💪🏻 ❤️.

Who helps us learn? Who keeps our streets clean? Who makes sure we have food to eat? Birch classroom has been exploring all things about Community Helpers this month! They were thankful to have special presentations from real world community helpers to further their learning. The class was excited to ask questions and hear important information from these everyday heroes.
 
This theme helps children foster an understanding of various professions, build respect and empathy for others, and learn about the vital roles that make a community function smoothly.
 
Thank you to all of our community helpers who truly are our everyday heroes!

Our little Saplings Palaeontologists continued their study about dinosaurs. They made their very own dinosaur fossils! The best part was using hammers & chisels to discover what was inside! 
There is always so much fun to be had in our Creative Arts program! RAWR!

Did you know the continents around the world? Our Cedar classroom students sure do! 🌍

For #HillsdaleTuesdays, we’re featuring our little explorers who have been busy diving into their continents lesson -  from studying 3-part cards, to pin-poking and tracing each continent, to creating their very own poke-out globe. They even explored which animals can be found on each continent! 🐾✨

Learning about our world has never been this fun! 😀

The Montessori Golden Bead Work is a beautiful material that teaches our students the decimal system, place value (units, tens, hundreds, thousands), and the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). The beautiful beads allow students to physically produce the quantities they are learning about!
