Kanata Montessori
We couldn't have asked for a better school for our daughter. She was guided to make good choices, encouraged to build on her own strengths and motivated by educators who went out of their way to support her.

We remember the feeling when we walked in the door. We were warmly greeted by staff, students and the school stress relievers, the dogs.
