Testimonials

I have been taking my daughter to Elite for the last school year and now in 2012/2013. This school is incredible! The staff are pleasant, patient and fully equipped to lead the students no matter what the age. I am a mother of 3 kids and the 2 eldest are a lot older than my daughter. I have experienced many daycares and schools and none have taught my children as much as Elite! Never in my dreams did I think my daughter would be able to add, read and learn so many life skills as she has at Elite. She was taught by Mrs. Luthra for all of last year and I attribute her for the skills that my daughter has learned. I have recommended this school to my colleagues and friends! Thank you Elite and specifically Mrs. Luthra for leading such fine individuals to teach our kids!!

Other parents may have different experiences with this school; however, I will say that I never regrets sending my kids to this school. I had the worst experiences with ANOTHER school which I paid more for teachers to 1) talk with each other in the playground while boys were fighting and girls were bullying other younger girls in the playground, 2) kids were left in freezing cold even they were crying due to cold, and 3) teachers would not let kids back into the school to go to washroom, just because it was pick up time, even they were told that they needed to go to washroom, which led to regression in toilet training. That was true nightmare I had from another school. With a friend of mine recommending Elite Montessori, I switched my kids to this school and I would never regret. To name to actual location, my kids go to the Mississauga Road location. Teachers are very responsive to complaints and concerns. I believe all parents will have some sort of issues with any school their kids go to because no school is 100% perfect. However, as long as you talk to them, they listen and will react appropriately and never disappoint me. The fact is that they improve while my kids improve too. Just like many parents, at one point, I was worried about one of my older kid's progress with phonic skills (which shows that they do teach them stuff), they told me to give more time and be patience. I did, and when it came the right time, my old one starts picking up phonics like magic and now loves reading and reads day and night. Whenever wakes up, you will hear the sound of my older one reading. The older one starts reading thick story books and reads to my younger kid. It all happens at just at 4.5 years old. Now, my younger one starts picking up phonic skills as well and remembers what was taught!!! As a note, my family and I never taught my younger one on phonic and so all those must have learnt from school. I will need to thank all the teachers who spend their time and love to my kids teaching them to be better people throughout the years. They don't just sing Oh Canada in the morning, they also say a pledge which teaches them to respect their classmates, and to keep their school as a clean environment to be in. They also teach kids with great table manners like they will thank for the food they are given before they have their snacks. They will recite their pledge and the thank you grace even at home. I go with that and keep reminding them to respect each other just like when they are at school and so not to waste food and eat only healthy food. (Note that their Oct theme is Food and Nutrition and they have learnt to stop eating candies and eating much less ice-cream, and ask for more vegetables!!!) Overall, I think this school has great influence to my kids and I hope bad reviewers have more solid contents to support their criticism.

When we started out 3 years ago the school was incredible. Bottom line teachers are warm and friendly. It is a safe and nurturing environment to have your children in. Our son has done wonderful and am looking forward to sending our second and third ones soon.

This is a review from a former student from Elite. Elite Montessori is an advanced learning Montessori school. There are many activities in this school such as, International Day, Winter Concert, Montessori week, Science fair along with swimming and skating.

The teachers are very friendly, kind, principled, caring, thoughtful, nice, phenomenal, and makes you feel comfortable like your at home. The teachers try their hardest to discipline the children.

On Fridays, Casa 1, Casa 2, and Precasa, would usually have “show and tell”. This was a fantastic way of building my confidence and presentation skills starting from a very young age. I always looked forward to “Circle Time”. Circle Time is when we share ideas and have conversations about a topic. To build on the above, in Elementary, we also had interesting, fun debates. The school also provides fresh snacks and hot lunches, which makes it way easier for parents. The snacks and lunches were healthy, balanced and delicious.

When I moved to public school, I found that Elite was an amazing foundation. It gave me a boost in all subjects. Elite teaches at a pace that caters to each child’s learning capabilities. The teachers also explain in a very pleasant way using different forms. They use materials to help the children understand the concept. Elite also offers before and after school activities. Elite is a WONDERFUL, TERRIFIC school to go to!!. I miss Elite so much! Those years were one of my best years yet. Thanks to Mrs. Luthra, Mrs. Krishnamoorthy, and all the other teachers who have taught me life skills. I love you guys and hopefully see you all soon. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Elite has been a second home to us. I had one child attend for 6 years which gave him an excellent foundation and love to learn. He transitioned easily to his new school and is at the top of his class. My second one still attends Elite and we see him striving just like his brother. I have recommended Elite to my family and friends and know that they are also loving the program, teachers and environment. It’s a great school. Special recognition to the owner/founder: Indu, my son absolutely adored her, she is an excellent mentor

Being an educator myself I know how important it is to have a strong foundation for children's education in the early years of their lives. Elite Montessori School provides just that. They have dedicated teachers who truly care about the education of their students. I have seen firsthand how they create lesson plans according to the child's need. Mrs. Luthra, I have gotten to know over the years and I can genuinely say that she is a very fair, and a very humble individual. She cares for each and every one of her students, parents and her staff.
What I like the most about Elite Montessori School is that it follows the Montessori curriculum, there are many schools out there within the region of Peel which claime to be certified Montessori schools but many of them are run as daycares only. It is also nice to see a weekly progress report of your child learning each week (to stay in the loop) and know what your child has learned.. Many of us parents do not get the opportunity to meet our child's teachers on a weekly basis due to work schedule or (other circumstances) so I really appreciated that Elite provides a brief weekly update on a child's progress. I highly recommend this school.

Elite Montessori provided the best education I could hope for my children. A special thanks to the warm and caring teachers and the principal, Mrs. Luthta. Now that my children are older, I see everyday how the strong Montessori curriculum offered by this school set them up for success! I highly recommend Elite Montessori school.

Elite Montessori is a remarkable school that has very professional and well-experienced teachers. These teachers are well rounded in the current curriculum and aspire the best for the children attending there. Their expansive range of topics that helps your child achieve their full potential academically. Personally, I have seen a dramatic difference in my child's behavior after just attending the school for a year. I’ve had a great experience and will continue to enroll my son in the school

- Anshu Rai

My daughter was a part of the Elite family. As a parent I had an amazing experience with the administrative part as well as the teaching . My daughter at a very young stage in her life , learnt to be independent in so many real walks of life . Her time management was remarkable for a child . Elite Montessori was second home to us as a family. The warmt form the staff made it easy for us as parents to leave our heartbeat in hands of nurturing caring humans . We recently moved from Canada and till today I’m so thankful as a mom for all that Elite has done to make my daughter who she is today. Thank you Mrs. Luthra and staff for all you do.

My son has been going there for the last 4 years and absolutely loves the place. The teachers are all excellent! They've shown so much care and have inspired him to want to learn more. He gets so excited every time he learns something new. One day he came home and made us promise that we teach him science and history! In addition, Elite offers many extra curricular activities which my son has enjoyed including piano, karate, dancing, monkeynastics and french lessons. I would highly recommend Elite to everyone! Your child will definitely love this place!

Elite Montessori is one of the well established schools with experienced and dedicated teachers. Their curriculum is extensive and true to the Montessori concept, unlike some of the other Montessori’s out there. It has proven to be quite beneficial for my child, where she was taught not only to accomplish day to day tasks through practical life activities, but also helped her achieve the academic goals through language, math and science activities. I could see the difference when my child started public school after 3 years of Montessori Education. I would especially recommend Elite Montessori to any parent who wants to build a firm foundation for their child.😊

- Farheen Mohsin

Thankful to all the teachers for all the hard work. It is an amazing school. My daughter has been in that school since she was 21/2.. Seen her grow there. Teachers are excellent and curriculum is also very good. All activities they provide like swimming, gym, Bollywood dancing, piano to name the few, makes it easier for me as a parent not to run around for such activities.

When our son was 2-1/2, my husband and I began to look for a pre-school facility that could provide our son with excellent learning and social development opportunities. We knew little about the Montessori approach to education, but we knew what was important to us. We wanted a small class with plenty of personal attention. We wanted a strong curriculum with a broad base of learning beginning at an early age. We wanted a school where our child felt comfortable, nurtured, and would develop excitement toward school.

With these criteria in mind, we began the search. We researched and visited many schools. Finally, we attended a meeting at Elite Montessori. Our initial impression of Elite Montessori was that the environment was warm and caring, and that the teachers were highly competent. It was also apparent that the children were accomplishing work at a level beyond what we had expected. Based on our initial impression, and conversations with the parents of children who attended Elite, we decided to enroll our son.

It has been eight years since we enrolled our first son at Elite Montessori. Since then, we have also enrolled our other two sons. Our extensive experience with Elite has confirmed our initial impression: Elite is an excellent learning facility, the teachers are knowledge and well-trained in the Montessori approach, and that the environment is nurturing and caring. Elite has provided our children with a strong foundation in core academic subjects and practical life skills. Our children have thrived both academically and socially, and possess a great attitude towards school and learning. We are thankful that Elite Montessori has fulfilled the crucial role of providing a very positive introduction to school for our children.

We had our child in a daycare for a year before switching him over to this wonderful Montessori School. We can see the difference in his behavior; he is now more calm, enjoys reading books and always talks about how much he loves his school!! We are sooo happy we made the change to bring our 2 year old to this School. The teachers are all kind hearted and intelligent. We are lucky to be part of this little family!!!!

- The Hamiltons.

Elite Montessori is a wonderful school. I would not think of any other place for my three children. The school has provided my children with a strong foundation in academics. Plus, the school is well organized and meticulously operated with innovative fun ideas in the classrooms. Last year my son was so excited to watch baby chicks hatch from eggs. The previous years, my daughter watched caterpillars turn into chrysalides, then butterflies. Furthermore, the teachers and staff provide a warm, friendly, and patient environment that fosters respect and caring for others. It is reassuring that my children spent their day in a safe environment that they enjoyed. We truly love Elite and will miss it once our youngest graduates from Casa.

My son, John, started at Elite Montessori for his SK year as a referral from my neighbour. I really wanted a school that would provide structure for my son. Well to my surprise I got structure and he got love, care and very fair disciple.

I have done nothing but rave about my sons improved behaviour and interesting things that he’s done at his school so far. It’s evidentto see what a loving environment this school has created that my son feels loved and I feel that he is truly cared for.

The teachers at Elite have no idea how much they have already impacted my sons life after only one month – we and everyone around us can see a huge change in his behaviour. So a world of thanks and gratitude goes out to those wonderful smiling faces for the teachers and the fantastic job that they do at Elite.

I will highly recommend this school to everyone I know I just wish they went right up to grade 8.

Kindest Regards
The Cambouris Family

Our twins started attending Elite Montessori at the age of 3 and graduated when they were 5. Over the 3 years, Elite provided a warm and friendly learning atmosphere and encouraged them at their own pace. We are enormously pleased and grateful for the attention, care and education they both received and I believe this unique experience will serve as a strong foundation for their success.

After visiting a few Montessori schools and looking at the activities in each, we finally decided on Elite Montessori School. We first heard about this Montessori from a family friend whose daughter was attending this school at the time. He told us this school was great for the kids and we could expect good results for our son, which after the years now we could not agree more!! 
We are very impressed with our son's progress in academics, sport and social skills. Elite has some outstanding, caring and patient teachers. The school also provides extra curricular activities, and for the parents’ convenience during school hours to fit busy schedules. With the breadth of activities, I didn't really have to worry about him missing something. Their formula naturally produces a successful school with bright and happy students. We are proud to be a part of Elite Montessori and would highly recommend this wonderful school to parents seeking a quality learning environment where it is fun and the teachers are involved with their children.

- Mr. and Mrs. Maruvada

We have been a part of the Elite Montessori family since September 2006. As parents our one concern was to find a school that could provide a safe, nurturing, professional and academically stimulating environment. I am very proud to say that “Elite Montessori” was that school. The principle and the dedicated staff provided the very best to our children. They communicate through the weekly planners, parent teacher interviews and information emails. The open door policy at the office allows you to speak openly and honestly where your feedback is valued and respected. The teachers love their jobs and it shows in their attention to detail and care for the children. Our boys were encouraged and their potential maximized as they kept challenging them further. I wish Elite continued success and may it flourish and nurture the many new minds that come into the school. Elite does not simply deliver the Montessori curriculum, but they go over and beyond with the little extras – that is what makes it different!

Thank you for being a great Principal and amazing teachers to both Alexander and Aidan Gomes. We will always treasure the memories and moments of every school year.
