We offer Pre-Primary Programs that operate as licensed childcare facilities regulated by the Ministry of Early Years in Saskatchewan, serving children aged 2.6 to 5 years across three campuses in Regina. Our Elementary Programs for students in Grades 1 to 8 function as a Qualified Independent School in the south end of Regina. As an alternative school, the Montessori School of Regina strives to create a respectful and peaceful environment where students can nurture their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong independent learning.

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, โ€œFree the childโ€™s potential, and you will transform him into the world.โ€ At Montessori School of Regina, we believe in holistic education that fosters independence, diversity, and respect. We believe in the childโ€™s natural ability to wonder and explore the World around them.ย  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 โ€“ Lower Elementary (grades 1-2), Middle Elementary (grades 3-5), and Senior Elementary (grades 6-8). Our elementary programs are based on Dr. Maria Montessoriโ€™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.

For April Fools Day, students at Mayfield campus enjoyed some fun with homemade โ€œBrown Eโ€™sโ€, themed healthy snacks and a hunt for googly eyes hidden in the classroom that did not belong. The day was filled with silliness, imagination, and shared laughter together!

On #HillsdaleTuesdays, weโ€™re featuring our Seedlings students exploring the world of art with Paul Cรฉzanne! ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‹๐ŸŽจ 

Cรฉzanne, a famous post-impressionist painter, is known for his still life artworks. Our little artists used paint and crayons to create their own fruits and sunflowers, discovering colours, shapes, and creativity the Montessori way!

What are the initial sound boxes? Each โ€œboxโ€ is labelled with letters and children sort small objects or pictures based on their initial sound. The sound boxes are designed to help children with identifying the first sound in a word, connecting sounds to letters, and helps build a strong foundation for reading and spelling.

Throughout the school year, Birch classroom students have been invited to share special presentations about their cultural experiences with their peers!
ย 
These presentations allow the children to engage in purposeful communication, strengthening their expressive language and confidence while speaking before a group. Their peers are able to practice respectful listening, demonstrating patience, curiosity, and appreciation for one anotherโ€™s experiences.
ย 
By sharing these moments together, students are able to learn aboutย different places, cultures, and people, and begin to understand and respect differences, helping them grow as caring and global citizens.

Did you know our smallest learners use push pins?! Poke-out Shapes in Montessori Education are one of the first lessons our students learn in Pre-Primary! The child uses a push pin to carefully poke along the outline of a shape! Guess what? When complete, the shape pops out of the paper ๐Ÿคฏ! 

What does this benefit? WELL, it builds several foundational skills such as: fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, prepares for later handwriting, enhances concentration, and helps with shape recognition! 

What shapes have your students poked out lately?
