Anna Campbell, Mrs. Campbell
School Principal
Dear Prospective Families,
Thank you for your interest in Dearcroft Montessori Trafalgar Crossing. The foundation of this school was built on both quality and education using the Montessori method, as well as providing a caring and nurturing environment where the best interests of the child are always put first.
We have been a leader in Montessori education in Canada and internationally. We are proud to offer a truly unique program: a warm, personal, and nurturing community where every child is genuinely known and supported.
Choosing a true Montessori school means you have entrusted us with more than just academic instruction; you have chosen a path that fosters your child’s innate curiosity, independence, and love of learning. We are dedicated to creating a nurturing and respectful environment where every child can thrive at their own pace, guided by trained educators and thoughtfully prepared classrooms.
It is important to continually challenge students in new ways, as this helps build perseverance and motivation for the challenges they will face in the future. Over the years, we have watched Dearcroft grow into a beautiful school, expanding to a new campus in North Oakville, welcoming new students and new adventures.
All of our teachers strive to ensure students build positive attitudes towards themselves and learning. Each day we have the chance to inspire, motivate, and influence our students, reflecting our passion for teaching.
Here, learning goes far beyond the classroom. Our students engage in hands-on discovery, outdoor education, leadership development, embrace the culture around them, keep up with the times, and stay true to the Montessori philosophy.
Dr. Maria Montessori, an advocate of peace education, inspires our emphasis on kindness, respect, and inclusion. These values guide everything we do—from academics to conflict resolution—and help our students become compassionate, thoughtful members of their community.
The sense of welcome and belonging is unmistakable. There is something truly special about Dearcroft Montessori Trafalgar Crossing, where everyone is important and everyone belongs. We invite you to come and experience it for yourself and become part of the Dearcroft community.
Warmly,
Anna Campbell
