Children’s House Montessori PreSchool Society is a long operating non-profit Montessori preschool governed by parent-run volunteer Board of Directors in Coquitlam. Our first classroom, located in Bookmere Elementary School (presently Pacific Academy), opened in, September 1976. When Bookmere Elementary was permanently closed in June 1984, Children’s House was relocated to Parkland Elementary School. In 1990, a lack of space at Parkland School prompted another move to a portable classroom on grounds. Despite numerous changes over the last 2 decades, Children’s House continues to flourish thanks to its dedicated, caring staff, and the parents who volunteer their time and energy to administer the school.
Our classrooms offer both morning and afternoon classes and run five days a week. Up to 20 children are enrolled in each class. In keeping with the Montessori philosophy, we aim to balance the classes so that each session has a mixed age group. We offer an integrated preschool and kindergarten program for children between the ages of two years 6 months and five years old. Ideally, a child will remain in the program for the three year cycle, with the third year corresponding to the kindergarten year in the school system. The graduates of our school typically move on to a variety of public, private and independent schools, and enter grade one with confidence, independence and a deep love of learning.
Children’s House Montessori Preschool Society follows the Montessori Method of education under the guidelines of Association Montessori Internationale. As a licensed preschool, we must meet licensing regulations as set out by the Ministry of Health in the Community Care Facilities Licensing Act. These regulations are monitored and enforced by Vancouver Coastal Health under the direction of their Licensing Officers. Each staff member understands and follows these regulations in order to ensure the safety and well-being of the children under our care.
