Success in education is not just measured by grades or test scores. It is also reflected in the trust and confidence that families place in a school. At Crestwood Montessori School, we are proud to share that our dedication to quality early learning has been recognized with the Consumer Choice Award for the best private Montessori school in Northern Alberta. This achievement celebrates our long-standing commitment to creating a nurturing, respectful, and inspiring place for young learners.
A Recognition of Excellence
The Consumer Choice Award is more than a title. It represents the voice of parents, students, and the wider community who believe in our vision. Winning this award shows that families see Crestwood Montessori as a place where children grow not only in knowledge but also in confidence and character.
For over sixty years, Crestwood Montessori School has offered a true Montessori experience that helps children develop independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. Our classrooms are carefully designed to support young minds and hearts, and our teachers guide each child with care and understanding.
This recognition reminds us that education is about more than lessons. It is about creating an environment where children feel safe, respected, and excited to explore.
What Makes Us the Best Private Montessori School?
Authentic Montessori Learning
Our program is built on the Montessori philosophy, which encourages children to learn at their own pace through hands-on activities. Every child is unique, and our teachers observe and guide each one according to their interests and abilities. The materials in our classrooms are designed to promote focus, independence, and problem-solving.
From language and math to science and art, our students engage in lessons that spark curiosity and understanding. They learn not because they are told to, but because they want to. This is what makes Montessori education so powerful and lasting.
Small Classes and Individual Attention
At Crestwood Montessori School, our class sizes are small, so every child receives individual attention. Teachers can focus on understanding each child’s needs and providing guidance that supports both academic and emotional growth. In small classrooms, children also learn the importance of community and respect for others.
A Nurturing Environment
We believe that kindness and respect form the foundation of learning. Our classrooms are calm, orderly, and filled with opportunities for children to collaborate and communicate. We teach “grace and courtesy” lessons, where students practice saying kind words, offering help, and resolving conflicts peacefully.
This environment helps children feel confident in expressing their feelings, working with others, and solving problems independently.
Experienced and Caring Teachers
Our teachers are trained in both Montessori education and early childhood development. They guide each child with patience and care, creating a balance between freedom and structure. They know when to step back and when to offer support, helping children build confidence through discovery and success.
Why the Consumer Choice Award Matters?
The Consumer Choice Award is a symbol of trust and quality. It is based on feedback from families and community members who have experienced our program first-hand. This recognition shows that Crestwood Montessori School stands out for its commitment to excellence in early education.
