YMPS is a Montessori School, from Pre-Casa to Sr. kindergarten, situated in the heart of a growing community. The school offers a program based on well-known philosophies and Montessori teaching methodology. We aim to provide a happy, caring, and challenging environment for students throughout their school lives. Montessori based academic programs and extra-curricular activities foster an enjoyment of learning and a concrete foundation for tertiary education and life beyond school.

Students learn in a caring discipline classroom environment with sequenced activities and structured programs through five basic subjects: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Culture. Students’ progress at their own pace with gentle guidance from their trained Montessori teacher.

In York Montessori Private School, we celebrate diversity and welcome students of all backgrounds.

We offer an unsurpassed education in a caring environment. Our goal is to motivate and encourage all of our students to develop their unique talents to their utmost potential. We understand that from a young age, our students have a wide range of academic, artistic, and physical abilities. Our goal is to encourage and support each individual to achieve their highest standard of which he or she is capable. We gently foster the students’ confidence and begin to nurture study skills, work habits, and attitudes needed to ensure success in the future.

In YMPS, we establish positive, responsive relationships with students and families. In Montessori, we value students as individuals and as active and competent contributors to their interests. YMPS provides environments and experiences for students to explore ideas, investigate their theories and interact with others in play through the Montessori environment. Furthermore, through Montessori material, students can interact with teachers better.

The inclusive learning environment in our program is implemented by:

1)    Acknowledging diversity and valuing the culture and first language of all students;

2)    The environment that is accessible to each student.

3)    Recognize each student as unique and work with the families around their development and needs.

Toddler Program

With Montessori, we recognize that learning doesn’t begin at a specific age. Our toddler program gives students a platform to build their tallest thoughts and questions, helping them to become independent thinkers.

Academic Foundation

During the first three years of a student’s life, the impressions they absorb are the most defining. With our exceptional facilities, students will be able to develop their language and motor movements. This basis will allow them to further explore their capabilities. When their worksheet or craft is displayed on the wall, they feel very proud and happy.

YMPS uses a Montessori material learning approach to create the best environment for students to learn and grow. Our environment consists of age-appropriate Montessori materials and equipment. In YMPS, we follow the lead of the students, provide activities that support their overall development and use observations to guide our planning. Montessori materials allow students to learn in ways that are most appropriate for them. Each student may choose to pursue activities of their interest, allowing them to be creative and innovative as they learn.

Pre-School Program

The preschool program at YMPS follows the five main strands of the learning approach. These five strands encompass each angle of education, forming a strong and stable foundation for future development.
