Welcome To a Classroom Where Children  Can  Teach  Themselves!

 

Mi Casa Montessori Home-Based Preschool is located in Huntington Hills area, Calgary North West.  It has been in business since 2004.  Owner and a certified Montessori Preschool and  Kindergarten teacher is Miss Olga Sanchez.

The core philosophy of the Montessori method is that every child is unique and that his individuality must be respected throughout the educational process. If placed in the proper "prepared" learning environment, children will develop into “normalized children...they are active, balanced, able to work for the long time keeping concentration and discipline because they possess self-control.." (Maria Montessori).  

Mi Casa Montessori preschool provides such environment that encourages your child's development. It offers a wide range of Montessori activities, which support and reinforce your children's independence and self-esteem.  Mi Casa Montessori Preschool follows the "three freedoms" which offer children:

  • Freedom to repeat
  • Freedom of movement
  • Freedom of choice

Children love to explore and  discover; they learn by touching, feeling, and manipulating objects.  Children strive to find out what stimulates their senses and where things belong in this world. 

The Mi Casa preschool environment is prepared according to your child's needs. It is equipped with various Montessori materials and challenging exercises.  Children choose their own works. Their choice is respected and their work is valued.  Children develop initiative; they built concentration and self-discipline. They discover, explore and finally master.

 

The Montessori Program is designed for children from three to six years of age. The curriculum covers the Preschool and Kindergarten level. The mixed aged group allows children to learn from each other, share knowledge  and help each other working with the materials.
