In Toronto, families are increasingly seeking alternative childcare and education options, with a particular interest in Montessori pedagogy due to mounting scientific evidence for the pedagogy.

Montessori schools looking to innovate to meet this demand, aiming to strengthen their reputations and build stronger school communities.

We partnered with Bueno Market and Odyssey Montessori School to pilot Montessori Mornings, a community-oriented program designed to increase access to Montessori programming for neighbourhood families. This initiative offered a series of interactive workshops for parents and their children aged 1–3 years, providing hands-on experiences with Montessori materials and fostering meaningful interactions between families and educators.
