Founded in 1985, Meadow Montessori School in Maple Ridge grew from a small preschool and kindergarten into a thriving community dedicated to child-centered learning. Today, we offer exceptional preschool and elementary programs (K–7), built on the commitment of involved parents, passionate educators and strong leadership.
Why You’ll Love It Here
At Meadow Montessori, you’ll join a warm, supportive, and family-like community that values collaboration, innovation, and well-being. We foster an environment built on respect, care, and joy—where we lead with both heart and mind.
Our team works closely together, prioritizing self-care and mental and physical wellness. We build lasting relationships with students and families through multi-age classrooms, allowing deep connections over several years. Every day, we know we’re making a meaningful difference.
What We Value
The mission of Meadow Montessori School is to create and sustain a caring, respectful and safe educational environment to enable each child to realize his or her richest potential for social, ethical and intellectual growth and to become an independent, self-motivated and contributing member of the world community.
We achieve this by:
Delivering a well-rounded, research-informed curriculum with rigorous standards
Fostering a lifelong love of learning
Embracing diversity and teaching respect for differences while finding common ground
Promoting responsibility toward others and the earth
Engaging parents, teachers, students, and the wider community
What Makes Us Unique
We respect each child as a unique individual and focus on developing the whole child — social, emotional, intellectual and physical. Our goal is to foster independence and unlock every child’s potential through an environment that inspires curiosity and self-formation.
We model and teach values of respect, equity, justice and responsibility, preparing students for leadership and global citizenship. Diversity and inclusion are central to our admissions, hiring, and community practices, ensuring a future-forward education for all.
Our School Community
We are more than a Montessori school — we blend Montessorian philosophy with the B.C. curriculum in creative, engaging ways. Our approach emphasizes real-world, multidisciplinary learning, integrating arts and math wherever possible. By following each child’s interests, we nurture passions and build a foundation for lifelong curiosity.
We embrace: individualized and differentiated learning, early childhood education, support for exceptionalities, social-emotional learning, mindfulness, whole-child development, 21st-century skills, fine arts, project-based learning, values and ethics, empathy, citizenship, global awareness, environmental stewardship, First Peoples Principles of Learning, and an enriched BC curriculum.
