I obtained services from this daycare centre / preschool and I find that:

"Ishaq was barely 3 years old when he started at Montessori Minds(New West location). He was shy, quiet and only comfortable around his parents or grandparents. We were worried about how he would integrate into a new environment and respond to other adults.when I visited the centre From the very first meeting, I was put at ease and immediately blown away by Shazmina’s enthusiasm and passion for children and the Montessori system. I knew right away that Ishaq would be fine.

Ishaq stayed with Shazmina until he entered Kindergarten this fall. Under her care and her amazing teachers, Ishaq thrived into a confident, outspoken, young boy. At Montessori Minds he gained practical skills that he uses every day and he gained a strong love of reading, and is the only boy in his kindergarten classroom with a book in his hands while the other kids are being read to. At playtime, he is the one making up stories and playing make-believe with his friends.

Over the last 2 years Ishaq was in a secure, loving and nurturing environment that he enjoyed going to everyday, and would come home and share stories about. There is no doubt in our minds that he received the best start to his early years. We are so happy and pleased with how much he progressed. Nothing compares to Shazmina and her staff’s professionalism and genuine desire to help. When our younger son turned 3, the questions came up again for where was the best care possible. This time there was little doubt. We signed him up as soon as he was ready. We would recommend Montessori Minds to anyone in a heartbeat!"

"If you are looking for a daycare this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for an unbelievable experience for your child then this centre is it. My son just completed two and a half years at Montessori Minds and all I can say is thank god for this place. My child enjoyed being their, the care givers are top notch where they go above and beyond what they have to do. My son was able to learn through experience things like math, writing, but more than that there was social responsibility, the importance of nature and the list goes on. My son had graduated to Kindergarden but he still misses his time at Montessori Minds as do I. I strongly recommend this place."

"I have been at this Daycare for the past 2 years, Shazmina and her team has helped my child in many ways to improve in language and with settling himself. when we started my son couldnt speak a word of english, but after a while he was able to sing some songs, and follow through with routines on a daily base.
when we had to transfer him from fulltime to parttime, she agreed with no hesitation, and helped us with the transition so Kindly.
my son was very happy at the Montessori shazmina and her team were so loving and very nurturing. the attention given to my son was so great, at the beginning, when he had no language skills.
we had to move to Richmond, due to my work, but my son will be attending Montessori atleast 2 times a week, to spend time with teachers and friends. (as he keeps saying that he misses the school)
we wish them all the very best and success in their job...
thanks again, Montessori Team"

"I was happy with the daycare until I realized that my child was not. However when I gave notice that we were going to leave I could detect a certain resentment from the owner. Thus I judged that it would be better to immediately remove my child.
When I tried to get my deposit back, she charged me more than the amount agreed upon, And when I emailed her about this situation she chose to ignore me.
One cannot judge a daycare by just visiting, it's only after the child has been there that you can really get to know the negative effects that a day care can have on them.
Also it seems that there is no discretion when it comes to personal matters. Your situation will be shared by the Owner to all and sundry."

"Hello to fellow parents,

My spouse and I had a hard time with Day Cares. when Montessior Minds opened in our Neighbourhood we thought we would try it. I wished, I would have had my daughter in a Montessior School earlier. She was happy and learning on her own pace. The care she received from The Teachers was fantastic just like family. I went to work worry free knowing my daughter would be safe and educated was a dream come true.

Thanks to Shazmina and her Teachers"
