At Nido, children are at the forefront of their learning and actively participate in developing their understanding of the world. We nurture children’s innate curiosities and encourage questions, exploration, and reflection to facilitate deep, integrated, and transferable learning. Our goal is to support and inspire children to discover how they learn, rather than simply seeking out ‘the right answer.’
We are an inclusive and relationship-based community that encourages self-discovery and expression. We honour the inherent worth of each individual and celebrate our differences as strength. At Nido, we model this with conviction and say: “Come as you are!”
At Nido, we acknowledge our increasingly dynamic and interconnected world and view children as capable citizens within it. We provide developmentally appropriate opportunities for children to actively engage with their surroundings and expand their understanding of self and others. Through scaffolding, we nurture and empower their independence, confidence, and responsibility to their communities.
The Nido community values secure and loving relationships as paramount to our philosophy. As the developing brain interacts in relationships, we embody an evolving sense of self and understanding of the world. Neuronal connections are shaped by our inter and intrapersonal relationships, as well as our evolving relationships with our environment, materials, and concepts.

“I have seen tremendous growth in Hugo over a short few months. He is learning so much academically, and his phonics has improved to the point where he can now read a short book. The teachers are all so loving and put so much effort into all of the kids. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a school. ”

“Our experience here at Nido has been great! We have seen our son excel in his language, independence, and confidence to engage with others. The teachers are accommodating and always update me with what is happening with my son at the school. They have given me helpful tips on how to engage with him when he is showing certain behaviours.”

“The experience at Nido de Montessori has been great for us as parents. It has exceeded our expectations. The thing we like about it is that the same teachers are present each day. We feel that the way the school has organized itself allows all the children learn in a group while also catering to the individual needs of each student to nurture their uniqueness. Augusta is learning more about life each day, such as the life cycles of chickens and the organs in her body. We always hear about her new friendships with classmates. She is thrilled when we pick her up from school!”

“The program is perfect for my daughter. She loves it! So if she is happy, that is everything. She has been here since she was 2 and she has grown up so much. I see a very bright future for her at Nido. The teachers are very caring, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, which is everything for the kid; this is their second home. It is very important to choose the right campus for your children. I love Nido!”
