About Waverley Road Montessori

Ms Maricela has worked for leading Montessori Schools for 22 years and decided to start her own school because she believed that every childcare program must put the child’s interest first. Her passion for Montessori education and desire to run a quality program gave birth to Waverley Road Montessori.

Ms Maricela leads the team of teachers and guides them in the smooth functioning of their classrooms and the school as a whole to provide a high-quality program. Her expertise lies in applying the Montessori philosophy: respect for the individual, community, and environment. She has worked in inclusive, diverse environments intellectually, socially, culturally, and socio-economically. She has held positions that utilize leadership, strategic planning, staff training, curriculum analysis and development. Ms Maricela is committed to cultivating Montessori values to meet student needs and inspire learning in the Waverley Road Montessori School community.

Ms Maricela also strongly believes it takes a village to raise a child, which is why she is more than happy to use her teaching and parenting expertise to advise new and experienced parents.

Waverley Road Montessori offers a happy and caring place for children to learn. Children are supported by Montessori Teachers and Assistants, with the freedom to explore and discover through self-initiated activities. We have two very special environments: the Toddler Program (18 months to 2.5 years old) and the Casa Program (2.5 years old to 5 years old). Each class community is focused on supporting every child at their specific age or pace of development while nurturing independence and self-esteem.

We are situated in the Beaches area of Toronto, with children attending from a wide range of places. Our children, families, and staff are diverse and fully reflect the multiculturalism of Toronto. Our children benefit from very small class sizes throughout the school.

Class teachers are highly experienced and enthusiastic. They work closely to support your child’s welfare and development. We have chosen our staff members for their expertise in their field. We pride ourselves on individual care to meet every family’s needs. We also prioritize communication with parents and provide a warm and welcoming environment for all our families.
