Manor Road Co-Op Nursery School Manor Road Co-operative Nursery School, Established 1937
Manor Road Co-operative Nursery School Since 1937
Manor Road Co-operative Nursery School is Canada’s oldest non-profit nursery school. Our primary goal is to provide a warm and nurturing environment for children that promotes self-esteem and trust. Through play-based learning, children’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth is stimulated, giving them life-long skills and a strong foundation for their next stage of
development. Children have the opportunity to engage in a balance of fine and gross motor activities, art, role-playing, cognitive development and music, all at their own pace. Changing daily activities include exploring concepts of number and shape, and learning about varied cultural experiences and geography through costumes, crafts, holiday traditions, role-play
and song. Our teachers are highly experienced Early Childhood Educators. The program comprises both child-initiated and teacher-directed activities where parents have the unique opportunity to participate in the classroom to watch their child interact, develop, and learn.

Maria Montessori School Maria Montessori - a unique alternative to traditional learning As with all schools, academic facility is important to the Montessori philosophy. Maria Montessori School graduates consistently enjoy success at schools throughout Toronto and beyond. However, while this claim can be made by many schools, for our children it is the path to this success that is markedly different. Within specially equipped classrooms, guided by teachers trained by the Association
Montessori Internationale, children happily work developing the skills that will prepare them for a lifetime of learning. Without competition, extrinsic rewards or punishments, artificially segmented work periods, restrictive uniforms, or hours of homework our children eagerly meet the challenges of the world around them. Whether it is learning to tie their own shoes or, in later years, to master the complexi-
ties of algebra, all development is supported and encouraged with equal enthusiasm and respect. If you are interested in exploring a truly unique alternative to traditional education, for children two and a half to twelve years of age, we invite you to call us and arrange a personal meeting and tour.
