We offer Pre-Primary Programs that operate as licensed childcare facilities regulated by the Ministry of Early Years in Saskatchewan, serving children aged 2.6 to 5 years across three campuses in Regina. Our Elementary Programs for students in Grades 1 to 8 function as a Qualified Independent School in the south end of Regina.

Mission

The Montessori School of Regina, Inc., strives to create a respectful, peaceful Montessori community, where students can nurture and grow their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong, independent learning.

Vision

To make our school as the community’s choice for Montessori learning experience in Regina.

At Montessori School of Regina, we embrace four core values that shape our community and guide our approach to education:

Independence

Encouraging self-directed learning and fostering confidence in children to make their own choices.

Education

Providing a holistic, child-centered environment that nurtures intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Diversity

Celebrating the uniqueness of every individual and building a community that values inclusivity and cultural richness.

Respect

Promoting kindness, empathy, and mutual respect in all interactions, creating a harmonious learning environment. These values reflect our commitment to nurturing well-rounded, compassionate individuals.

PROGRAMS

Maria Montessori said, โ€œFree the childโ€™s potential, and you will transform him into the world.โ€ At Montessori School of Regina, we believe in holistic education that fosters independence, diversity, and respect. We believe in the childโ€™s natural ability to wonder and explore the World around them.ย  Providing an educational experience where every child can develop who they were made to be!

PRE-PRIMARY

Our Pre-Primary programs, starting at the age of 2.6 years, are offered at our three campuses, which are licensed childcare facilities under the Ministry of Early Years: Pasqua campus (3515 Pasqua St.), Hillsdale campus (3913 Hillsdale St.), and Mayfield campus (101 Mayfield Rd.). We also cater to kindergarten-age children, offering the program five days a week in accordance with the school calendar at each campus.

Under the direction of a Montessori head educator and an educational assistant, the children explore Montessori areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Cultural/Science, Math, and Language.

The Pre-Primary program is individualized to meet the unique needs of every student, providing them with free choice and movement throughout the classroom. Our program offers Montessori materials, engaging activities, vibrant art projects for creativity and exploration,and a music program once a week. We believe in the importance ofdeveloping the whole child: physical, cognitive, social, spiritual, andcreative.

ELEMENTARY

Our Elementary program is offered from grades 1 to 8. The Elementary Program is divided into three multi-grade classrooms โ€“ Lower Elementary (grades 1-2), Middle Elementary (grades 3-5), and Senior Elementary (grades 6-8). Our elementary programs are based on Dr. Maria Montessoriโ€™s observations on the second plane of development. During this stage of growth, students aged six to twelve are innately learning socialization, reasoning, peer identity, and moral development.

By following the Saskatchewan Curriculum and Guidelines, students engage in a personalized learning experience that accommodates their unique needs and interests. The Montessori approach encourages independence, choice, and collaborative learning, promoting the development of the whole child through thematic exploration and cosmic education. Progress is monitored through regular report cards and parent-teacher interviews, ensuring open communication about each child’s development.

The Geometric Cabinet is a classic sensorial material used to help students recognize, compare, and name geometric shapes! ๐Ÿ”ท๐ŸŸฆ๐Ÿ”ต 

This beautiful material teaches geometric vocabulary, develops tactile awareness, refines visual discrimination, and even gives an indirect preparation for mathematics and geometry!

Hello again, from #MayfieldThursdays
ย 
At Montessori School of Regina, we celebrate birthdays in a very special way!
ย 
During the Birthday Walk, the child carries the coloured globe of Earth and slowly walks around the sun, once for every year they have been alive. Each circle represents one full year of growth, learning, and change as the Earth travels around the sun.
ย 
As teachers share photos and stories from each year, the child reflects on how much they have grown and feel proud of their journey. This beautiful tradition helps make the concept of time concrete while celebrating each childโ€™s unique story. ๐Ÿ’›โœจ
ย 
๐ŸŽถ โ€œThe Earth goes round the sun; The Earth goes round the sun in a year; And now [childโ€™s name] turns one/two/three/etc.โ€๐ŸŽต

Shapes, but make it Montessori. โœจ

Our Maple students enjoy getting hands-on with the Metal Insets, becoming familiar with different shapes while building fine motor strength through poking and tracing.

They extend their learning by sorting shapes by type and color, and even creating their own shapes using popsicle sticks and playdough. 

Hands-on, focused, and actually having fun while learning? We love to see it. ๐Ÿ’›

#HillsdaleTuesdays is back!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentineโ€™s weekend and Family Day! 

Last Friday, our classrooms were filled with kindness as students exchanged cards and special tokens, collected in their own beautifully designed Valentineโ€™s bags. They also enjoyed festive arts, crafts, games โ€” and Valentineโ€™s Bingo! โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰

Today, to those who celebrate, we wish you a very Happy Lunar New Year! ๐Ÿงงโœจ Students have been learning about the holiday through stories and shared cultural experiences. Our Cedar friends created a Chinese New Year dragon puppet as a cultural art activity, learning that the dragon symbolizes power, prosperity, and protection. We also had friends in Maple class come dressed in beautiful traditional attire and share a special book about the celebration.
