Which Mississauga campuses do you have?

Three: Millcreek, Tomken and Southdown.

What age groups do you accept?

Depending on the campus, we offer infant, toddler and Casa (preschool and kindergarten) programs.

What’s the difference between Montessori and daycare?

Montessori pairs nurturing care with a genuine, hands-on curriculum focused on independence and individual development; conventional daycare centres on supervision.

Does Montessori prepare children for school?

Yes — children build early literacy and numeracy, concentration, independence and social confidence that support a strong transition to elementary school.

Montessori Schools in Mississauga

Grouping ages together lets younger children learn from older role models and older children reinforce their own knowledge by mentoring — building leadership and empathy along the way.

Mixed-age classrooms

Every child learns differently. Our certified educators guide each one individually — by interest, stage and pace — rather than running the whole room through the same lesson.

Child-led learning

Children grasp language, math, science and practical life through purpose-built Montessori materials they can touch and manipulate, long before those concepts appear on paper.

Why Mississauga families choose Montessori

A conventional daycare supervises; Montessori develops. In our Mississauga classrooms, children learn to work at their own pace, concentrate deeply, take responsibility and build the confidence that comes from doing things themselves. That’s why so many local families choose Montessori over a standard daycare for these early years.

What sets an authentic program apart comes down to a few things, and they’re the things we’re built on:

Children make choices, solve small problems and care for their environment, developing the responsibility and self-confidence that carry into school and life.

A focus on independence

If you’re weighing up Montessori schools in Mississauga, you’re likely looking for more than basic childcare — you want a place that builds independence, confidence and a real academic foundation in the years that shape everything after. Western Heights Montessori Academy has done exactly that for Mississauga families since 2015, with three campuses across the city: Millcreek, Tomken and Southdown.

Our Mississauga programs

Across our Millcreek, Tomken and Southdown campuses, we offer programs matched to each stage of early childhood:

Infant

A calm, nurturing start, with individualized care and gentle sensory and language experiences for the earliest months.

Independence, language, coordination and practical life skills through purposeful, hands-on activity.

Toddler

Hands-on academics in reading, math, science and culture that prepare children confidently for elementary school.
(Program availability varies by campus — our team can confirm which programs run at Millcreek, Tomken and Southdown.)

Casa (Preschool & Kindergarten)

What sets Western Heights apart

Beyond authentic Montessori, a few things make the difference for Mississauga families:

AMI- or MACTE-certified registered ECEs, each with a three-month probation before joining permanently
Small classes and the one-on-one attention that follows
Enrichment in French, Mandarin, Robotics, music and kids’ yoga
Extended hours from 7am to 6pm for working parents
Regular, honest communication with families

The first years are when the foundations — confidence, focus, communication, independence — are laid down. A strong Montessori start gives children skills they keep drawing on for the rest of their schooling. Choosing the right Montessori school in Mississauga is one of the higher-leverage decisions you’ll make in these years.
