               Welcome 
                to Cherry Blossom Montessori Preschool. 
               Cherry 
                Blossom Montessori Preschool serves children from 32 months to 
                6 years old (born before Dec. 31 of that year). We are using the 
                philosophy and curriculum of Dr. Maria Montessori. At Cherry Blossom 
                Montessori, we provide a safe and stimulating environment to nurture 
                the children, as they are little 'buds' waiting to blossom. We 
                provide an enriched program which emphasizes on educating the 
                whole child, covering all aspects of development - physically, 
                cognitively, socially, emotionally and creatively.  
              Children 
                pass through sensitive periods of development in their early life. 
                Dr. Montessori described the child's mind between births to six 
                years of age as the "absorbent minds". It is during 
                this period, that a child has tremendous abilities to learn. Dr. 
                Montessori discovered that children like to work as well as play. 
                Building upon children's intrinsic desire to learn, Dr Montessori 
                created this ideal environment full of opportunities for children 
                to explore for themselves. Based upon this principle, our classroom 
                is prepared to suit the child developmental needs. The children 
                progress at their own pace and rhythm, according to their individual 
                capabilities. This remarkable vision and method of teaching help 
                children to develop their habits, attitudes, skills and ideas 
                that lead to a lifetime of creative thinking and learning. 
               
               
               
                         
              Our goal is to provide 
                guidance to your children to build a strong learning foundation 
                and to bring up their own potential. 
                 
                 
                
              We are 
                located at 4440 Blundell Road, Richmond, 
                BC. The classroom is inside 
                Grauer Elementary School. Our classroom 
                is bright and airy with a warm and cheerful atmosphere. The room 
                is filled with interesting objects to allow children to explore 
                and learn from the environment.  
                
                    
              The school 
                has a large field and a playground where children can have some 
                fun.
