Best Montessori school in Canada

T	Terry Upshall on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great staff, great enviroment. Would give 5 stars if they were still making meals in-house
C	Cato TV on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I think this school is great and you get the best education you can get in all of Whitby. Although there is not a lot of kids I still think it is a great school.
E	Earl Gamelo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Most of the teachers cared about the kids and truly loved their work. I recommend this school if you are looking into a Montessori program in Durham.
J	Jane Cheung RTCMP and Associates on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My two girls attended school there for awhile over ten years ago. They thrived onwards. The girls had fond memories especially the amazing Christmas concerts they hosted every year. Now their little brother is following their footstep. He’s happy there. Highly recommend WHS.
M	Mom Whitby on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I pulled my son from this school very shortly after he started. It was the worst experience we went through. The youngest kids are treated horrible, they cry and are not being comforted and instead are being told "quiet" and "stop". Number of kids are crying in the corners, while teachers work with the ones that are not. Even at the start of the school, there are no toys taken out for them to play with, the children feel lost and are not being treated properly. The teachers are not honest about the amount of time the kids are crying and being upset. I would be told he did not cry and my son's eyes were red and swollen. I suggest you stay away.
H	Honest reviewer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pros: teachers are good, passionate, caring, school is pretty clean, they have a new hvac system. Cons: poor communication, no team sports, barley any gym, oddly there is no Parent Council considering you pay. Prices increased yet no upgrade to the school. Compare to the other one they own which it seems all the money goes too. If your child is doing online school price does not go down (greedy school), poor STEAM course, food is meh, no security cameras or codes, the other school they own has security cameras. Curious how they will provide better security considering there is a massive building being built next to them and retirement homes behind the school also. School admin are behind the times.
H	Hilda N.O on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If I could give zero stars I would. They are very unprofessional and biased . I would never recommend the school to anyone. First of all, the location is a horrible location.You would think that with all the tuition they charge they would have their own building for this location. Construction going on seems very unsafe for children. I spoke to a lady When I was trying to get my child enrolled. She kept on setting meeting after meeting and was not honest. They questions she kept asking concerning my child was very upsetting. Making it seem like there is something wrong with my child. Before the end of the meeting, I made up my mind I was no longer interested. The interrogation left a bitter taste in my mouth! I do not recommend.
M	M T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We love our experience at WMS and could not be happier with our child's growth academically and socially. Despite joining Sept 2020 during COVID, our child has flourished and the teachers and school staff have done an exceptional job with safety but also ensuring a normal, fun and enriching environment for the students. Our child has learned so much and her teaching team is top notch. They are very seasoned with many years of montessori teaching experience between them and it shows in how they speak to, and direct the students, as well as the curriculum they have covered this year. The classroom is diverse and inclusive and I love when our child comes home talking about different holidays and historical figures. As a teacher myself, I put great value on education and the feeling of a positive school culture. It is reassuring to me when every staff and teacher knows my child's name when they pass by and this was the same experience when our child attended Pre-casa at the LMS location. The location itself might not be ideal (in a church), but they are doing great things inside and our child loves the gym. We cannot wait until COVID is behind us and we can enjoy school bbqs and the memorable school concerts again!
