About LHMA

Our Montessori Approach

Our guiding philosophy is grounded in the time-tested Montessori approach, which empowers children to become confident, self-motivated learners. In our carefully prepared environments, children are encouraged to explore, question, and discover at their own pace, cultivating a deep sense of independence and a thirst for knowledge.

A Unique Learning Experience

At both our Calgary and Okotoks locations, you'll find inviting, child-centric spaces designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Our dedicated Montessori-trained educators serve as compassionate guides, supporting each child's individual growth and development. With mixed-age classrooms, we foster a sense of community and mentorship among our students, helping them build strong relationships and develop essential life skills.

Exploring Nature and Beyond

We believe in the importance of connecting children with the world around them. Both our locations feature outdoor spaces where children can engage with nature, fostering an appreciation for the environment and a sense of wonder. We also offer a well-rounded curriculum that includes the arts, practical life activities, language, math, and cultural studies.
