One World Montessori School has been an incredible experience for my child. Since he started in September, we have seen a great improvement in our child’s development. We would highly recommend this program to anyone! The teachers are absolutely wonderful.

Absolutely the best Montessori school on the south west of Edmonton. My daughter just graduated from the primary school. She learned so much at this school. The teachers are amazing and approachable. They stay in touch with parents via weekly emails. The weekly email helps me to have a discussion with my child about what she learned at school that week. The music class is our favorite, my daughter knows so many songs now. It's truly an amazing place and your child should be going there!

My twin boys have loved every day that they have spent at One World Montessori! They come home excited about everything they have learned and the new friends they have made... and I have seen so much growth in them, even in a short period of time... particularly with them becoming more independent, and mindful around the house, especially when it comes to helping out! Mrs. Nair and her team have been so caring and attentive with my boys and we're sad to be graduating from this lovely little school!

My kids have been at One World Montessori School for 3 years and the early education they have received is unparalleled. They come away with a depth and breadth of knowledge that is truly amazing for a preschool aged child. The teachers are supportive, warm, caring, and truly vested in your child. I have noticed that through this program, both my kids have developed a quiet confidence and a genuine love of learning.

If you were ever considering giving your children a head start through pre-K learning, I implore you to put One World Montessori at the very top of your short list. One World Montessori has provided "first class" pre-K education to our two daughters. When I say "first class", I'm talking way beyond alphabet recitals, counting chorus, and shape-shifting...I'm talking volcano science, anatomy 101, and Charlie Parker jazz!! The tailored and progressive educational programming provided by One World has not only provided a solid knowledge base for our kids but it's greatly enhanced their attitudes toward and aptitude for learning. They crave challenge and we couldn't be happier to see that their school consistently provides it.
The school provides top notch Montessori educational programming and they are sincerely engaged and invested partners with parents in ensuring children are always the highest priority. Director Dave and her staff have exceeded our expectations on more than one occasion when it comes to being compasionate, flexible, and accommodating in ensuring children's engagement, security, and sense of belonging are never compromised...even when real-world "rainy days" strike.
The teaching staff at One World are professional, considerate, welcoming, and clearly enjoy teaching. Kids have no shortage of friendly faces to turn to for assistance with lessons or creative collaboration.
It's evident every day that One World strives to ensure children are afforded the best opportunities to excel and develop. If you are serious about wanting to provide your kids with the best shot at getting a leg up on education, please dont hesitate to contact One World. Your children will be glad that you did.

My daughter started here at age 3 and it has been the best investment. She has grown soo much and had learned a lot more than she would have at preschool. I highly recommend this institute. Surabhi has a great team that works very hard with our children.

My son started attending afternoon sessions, at “One World Montessori”, before turning 3. He is currently in his 4th year – before beginning grade 1, in September. As a parent, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this school to any child. Year-after-year, my son has been consistently introduced to fresh/new curriculum. From the study of Master Artists, Geography, Science, to Reading/Writing, Surabhi Dave and her professional team have been exceptional in meeting my son’s learning needs. What’s more, the learning environment is clean, safe, and productive! Every day, my son is excited to tell us about the new things he learned/covered in school! I have no doubt he will be well-prepared for the challenges of elementary school – all in great thanks, to “One World Montessori”! Thank You!

I just want to let you know that I am amazed with my son and what he comes home with, the art concepts, the booklets! He has been singing and teaching all of us the African song. How lovely. The other day we had a full-on discussion about Mozart. We are enjoying the Picasso, Botticelli and Renaissance art. We enjoy hearing what he was thankful for and seeing him explain how he did his little math counting and using primary colours to make other colours and what nose is in Chinese. The questions he continually asks are inquisitive. I know he is naturally drawn to learning but the quality of experience that he is receiving in the afternoons is definitely enriching his mind and soul. I loved seeing charcoal on his face after an afternoon at school and listening to how he used this new medium to create his artistic apple.
I commend the curriculum you are teaching, the behaviour expectations you uphold and the sense of curiosity to learn and sense of accomplishment that you are instilling in the children. I can see how my children’s experience at OWM will imprint them to be independent, thoughtful, inquisitive learners.

One World Montessori is an exceptional pre-school. The classroom and facility is always clean, tidy, and full of wonderful materials for pre-schoolers. My child is extremely lucky to get a spot at the school and I cannot thank Surabhi and her team enough for all they have done so far.
All the staff at One World Montessori is very caring and know all the kids very well. The curriculum encourages curiosity, and develops love for learning. Not only has One World Montessori sparked my child's interest in learning, I'm very impressed by my child's confidence as well as her current ability in reading, writing, and math. I strongly believe this school has provided an excellent foundation towards my child's education and would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a montessori pre-school.

One World Montessori is an authentic Montessori school, staffed with truly caring and loving teachers. We fell in love with this intimate school 2 years ago when we enrolled our eldest son in the program at age 3. It took him some time to adapt to the Montessori program, but with the patience and determination of the staff, he thrived and is now entering his final kindergarten year. The school has helped reinforce what we try teaching at home – he reads and writes beautifully, has a great start in Math, Geography and French, and is excited about learning.
We were excited to place our second son (age 2.5) in the program, and he too has thrived thus far. It is truly amazing to watch your children enjoy learning and have confidence in themselves and their abilities. This is the greatest Gift that OWM has given our boys.
Seeing the eagerness in our boys to get to school on time every morning, and leave with the widest of confident smiles every day, is truly a fulfilling moment as a parent.

It is without hesitation and extreme pleasure that I recommend One World Montessori. One World is run by a team of caring, nurturing staff who always had my child’s best interest at heart. This talented and hard-working team of teachers has worked together for years and it shows in how smoothly the program is run which transfers to how secure and stable my child felt while attending. Our daughter grew, developed love of learning and thrived under the care of Surabhi and her team. The Montessori method is truly followed not only in materials and method but also in lessons, role modeling and practice in grace and courtesy. My daughter has become a helpful, polite, enthusiastic learner because of it. In our years at the school, we enjoyed many discussions at the dinner table of artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, and Michelangelo and we were so pleased to have our four year old contribute intelligently but also enthusiastically about these and all of the other subjects which she was so excited to learn about and share. She can count in English, French, Spanish, sing songs in Mandarin and strike a yoga tree pose! She has grown from a shy little girl to a confident public speaker! We never dreamed that she would be learning exponents, triple digit addition, and reading chapter books by the end of preschool! More importantly, she loves school and loves to learn. It is no surprise that the school has won Edmonton’s Top Choice for Montessori Schools award. We appreciate how much you have contributed to her future successes.
The Custodio Family
Our son AJ started at One World Montessori in the fall of 2013. Within a few weeks it was very apparent that we had made the right choice for him. He blossomed and grew in leaps and bounds! Every day we would see or hear about the new things he was learning. Driving in the car he would be counting and doing math, he would sing songs in both English and French, and he would talk about things that we had not learned until grade school! It has been amazing to see how happy he is there and the community of families and teacher support is one of a kind. We can’t wait to see his journey continue at One World Montessori!

I am grateful for the learning and growing experiences my son and daughter have had at One World Montessori School for the past 3 years under the leadership of Master Teacher Mrs. Dave. The teachers are passionate about the work they do through their student-centered classroom. On the days I had the pleasure to volunteer, the students appeared active, engaged and demonstrated very cooperative behavior amongst other classmates. The charismatic staff make the transition from parent to the classroom easy along with the safe, secure environment provided in learning the pre-requisite for School entry and beyond. My son and daughter were excited to go preschool daily and were always ready to share a story or two about their fun and exciting day. Thank-you Mrs. Dave and staff!

We visited a number of schools before choosing to enroll our son with Surabhi Dave at One World Montessori School. On our first visit, we felt that One World offered a very personal and nurturing touch, along with a sound foundation for learning. The caring and professional nature exhibited by the team immediately gave us confidence and reassurance that they would have our children’s best interests at heart.
We have seen firsthand how the fundamentals of this Montessori program have brought about exceptional growth in the areas of self-assuredness, independence, social development, and collaboration. Improvement came from a vast range of learning techniques which included practical life skills, learning from the older children, and extensive sensory areas all with a noticeable increase in the patience with others. This all has left us sold on the method of instruction and firm believers in the team at One World. On a daily basis we are thankful and have peace of mind knowing that our son and future siblings will have the opportunity to experience the highest quality of teaching in a safe, dedicated, and respectful environment that is exemplified by the team at One World Montessori in Edmonton.
The Murtons
One World Montessori is a place where you can send your children to have an amazing life experience. So much of what they learn in the first 5 years of life shapes the person they will become. One world Montessori gives the foundation of lifelong learning, respect, passion, self esteem and they do this with love. I am thankful to this school as I truly believe they were paramount in the success of my children. My children still talk about the school and how they miss the staff. It was a very memorable time for our family. Thank you One World Montessori!!!
Mandeep
My wife and I have been incredibly excited and grateful to have Ella attend your school since January 2015. We have noticed major advancements in every possible area since she started attending One World Montessori. She is more responsible, she’s a better communicator, her vocabulary has improved, her writing skills were nonexistent before January, and now she can write many words…
I could go on and on. I just want to tell you that we know we made the right decision in having Ella attend your school. And we are excited for her to attend again in September, and for our younger daughter to attend in a few years.
It is such a wonderful environment that you have cultivated. The teachers are absolutely incredible with the students, and even the way that the students interact with each other, and their behavior while they are there, is something that I never imagined I could see in a school with such young students.
A major thanks to you for everything,
Gregg and Andrea
