The vision of iExplorers Montessori is to support the natural development of children as first hand explorers, empowering them to become the transforming forces in our society leading to a more pleasant and peaceful world.
iExplorers Montessori will preserve the legacy of Maria Montessori’s principles and practice by advocating for the rights of children and adults to access safe, learning and nurturing educational environments. iExplorers ensures each child strives and develops intellectually, emotionally and socially as a global citizen. In addition to Montessori principles and practices, we are utilizing a research based approach by using The Creative Curriculum®. This research- based, age appropriate approach is challenging, engaging which aims to create a responsive collaborative environment that promotes positive outcomes for children
“The senses, being the world’s explorers, open the way to knowledge.” -MARIA MONTESSORI Mission iExplorers Montessori will preserve the legacy of Maria Montessori’s
At iExplorers Montessori & Creative Curriculum Academy, we believe that children thrive in nurturing, stimulating environments that encourage them to explore, discover, and grow. Exploration is essential for children to make sense of their world, which is why we offer two rich and thoughtfully designed learning environments—one grounded in the Montessori philosophy and the other inspired by the Creative Curriculum® approach.
Our program is child-centred, recognizing that children learn best through hands-on experiences, observation, engagement, interaction, and independence. Both learning environments provide meaningful activities that spark curiosity, build confidence, and support the development of the whole child.
Our Montessori classroom/playroom is organized into five core learning areas:
Each area offers carefully designed, hands-on materials that help children develop independence, concentration, coordination, problem-solving skills, and foundational academic abilities. The Montessori environment supports children in becoming confident, capable, and self-directed learners.
The Creative Curriculum® classroom/playroom provides an investigative, play-based learning experience through well-defined interest areas, including:
These centers create a responsive and trusting environment where children build relationships, explore their surroundings, and develop key learning objectives at their own pace. Educators support each child’s unique interests, strengths, and learning styles.
