Stoney Creek Montessori sits within the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Mississauga Nations. We honour their enduring presence and are grateful to work and learn on these lands.

Stoney Creek Montessori is a traditional, women-led Montessori school located in the heart of Hamilton and Lower Stoney Creek, Ontario, welcoming children from 18 months to six years of age. We are accredited by Montessori Canada (formerly CCMA) and regulated by the Ministry of Education’s CCEYA.

We are a nurturing, joyful place where every child is treasured as an individual. Following the Montessori philosophy, we allow children to develop at their own pace, in an environment designed for independence and discovery.

What sets us apart

Small class sizes and an authentic Montessori curriculum, delivered with rigour and warmth. Several of our teachers are also parents of children at the school, which gives our community a rare intimacy: the people guiding your child through their day have chosen this place for their own families, too. Our experienced, qualified team brings together expertise in early childhood education, Montessori pedagogy, social work, and education.

Our curriculum gives particular attention to the natural world, the arts, Canada’s multilingual and multicultural heritage, including the history and cultures of First Nations peoples, and the diverse futures our children are growing into.

We are proudly independent and non-denominational, welcoming children and families of all faiths, ethnicities, backgrounds, and socio-economic circumstances. As an equal opportunities employer, we are committed to building a team that reflects the community we serve.

 Parents are welcome to register their children on our waiting list. We also occasionally have staff vacancies.
