About

Little Oak Montessori

Little Oak Montessori is a Vancouver-based Montessori childcare community offering full-day programs for children ages 12 months to 5 years. Founded by educators in 2014, we are built on a simple belief: every child is capable, curious, and full of potential.

Our Montessori campuses are AMI-standard and internationally recognized, thoughtfully prepared to support independence, concentration, and joyful discovery. In practice, this means children learn in calm, beautiful classrooms with purposeful Montessori materials, consistent routines, and trained educators who guide with intention and respect.

Within this prepared environment, children are invited to follow their interests, build real-life skills, and grow at their own pace socially, emotionally, and intellectually. They learn to care for themselves, care for others, and care for their environment, developing confidence, coordination, empathy, and self-regulation through meaningful daily work.

At the heart of Little Oak is our team. Led by licensed Montessori educators, we offer guidance that is consistent, attentive, and deeply personal, shaped by careful observation and a genuine understanding of each child.

Our Approach

One word: Passion

Passion is the difference between childcare and a place that truly shapes a childhood. At Little Oak, our educators bring energy, creativity, and intention to every lesson, turning everyday routines into opportunities for confidence and growth. We guide children through early milestones like separation, toileting, social development, and emotional regulation with patience and steadiness so they feel safe, seen, and secure.

We work in close partnership with families through clear communication and thoughtful guidance, so parents feel informed, supported, and confident in their child’s experience.

Little Oak Montessori is more than a school. It is a community built on trust, respect, and a deep love of childhood, where children flourish with curiosity and families feel truly supported.

Our Montessori Program

We offer full-day Montessori programs for ages 12 months to 5 years in thoughtfully prepared AMI-standard classrooms.
Rooted in the Montessori curriculum, children explore Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Culture and
Science through hands-on materials that nurture curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.

Testimonials

The group of teachers at Little Oak Montessori has played a pivotal role in the upbringing of our daughters, Abigail and Isabelle, while my wife and I go about our busy days as a family of 5. Thanks to the Montessori philosophy and teachers going above and beyond, my daughters have grown to be independent, creative and confident little people – all attributes we highly value within our family. The level of confidence when using a pair of scissors, or tying shoelaces, or sewing with a needle are all wonderful examples of skills learnt, but more importantly a reflection of the care and efforts from the teachers there.

We have both of our sons attended Little Oak Montessori House since 2017 and we loved it! The teachers were all very patient, engaged in classroom presence, valued real-world learning, and most of all, loved all the children there. As parents, we feel very supported and well-guided. Our kids were able to learn in such a loving, encouraging and positive environment, we were so appreciative of everything they do at Little Oak Montessori House! Thank you!

During two and half years studying at Little Oak Montessori, She learned a lot of knowledge and grew up both physically and psychologically. She now has a very positive mindset which she is willing to share and care for others, and building up leadership as well. All of these thanks to their teachers’ teaching at Little Oak Montessori. Olivia is now in kindergarten, she thinks that the content she learns now is so easy because she already learned at Little Oak. My daughter told me so many times that she wants to visit Little Oak to see all the teachers this Christmas. She really loves it there. Teachers at Little Oak are really doing a great job teaching the kids. Teachers are so kind and are so patient to teach and guide the kids. Little Oak Montessori truly provides high quality education, not only for academics which it’s already amazing, but all the aspects for kids to become a great person. For those who are looking for a preschool with great education and lovely teachers, definitely check out Little Oak Montessori.

We are so grateful for the wonderful experiences our three children had while attending Little Oak Montessori Children's House! The teachers are so caring and clearly passionate about their work. We were always so appreciative of the incredible thought and effort that the staff put into teaching-- they always encouraged each of our children and considered their individual needs. In addition to providing a rich learning environment consistent with the Montessori curriculum, they created such a warm and safe space for the children to build friendships, learn and grow. There was always clear communication between the school and the parents. The director of the school, Ms. Lillian, was always approachable and a consistent presence. We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Little Oak Montessori Children's House and are truly so grateful to all the teachers!
