Montessori Children's House of Medicine Hat is a preschool that offers an exceptional Montessori education to young children. The school's mission is to help children meet their physical, social, creative, emotional and intellectual needs while maintaining a stimulating environment.

Maria Montessori believed that the period between birth and six years of age is important for the child's development. At Montessori Children’s House of Medicine Hat, teachers utilize the classroom materials in accordance with her philosophy to provide a conducive environment for learning based on order, refinement of senses, sensitivity to language, social awareness and interest in small objects.

The school believes that providing children with the freedom to learn through interaction with their environment encourages natural growth and development. Through movement and manipulation of objects in the environment, children construct their understanding of their surroundings.

Montessori Children's House instructors encourage group sharing because it allows children to assist or be assisted by peers while enabling them to learn from one another. This method helps build self-image and observation skills.

Apart from imparting academic knowledge, the school also emphasizes life skills such as sweeping, scrubbing, measuring and pouring via practical life lessons. Sensorial training includes strengthening sight, sound, smell and touch senses; therefore fine and gross motor movements are exercised under this regime along with reinforcing everyday concepts like 'wet/dry,' 'shiny/dull,' etc.

Through early literacy classes, counting instruction and global studies covering maps/cultures/communities, students get an advanced start on education commensurate with traditional educational expectations.

Implementing a varied curriculum including art study involving basic art techniques mastery (for example drawing/painting) alongside musical studies teaching classical literature poetry recitation or dramatic/musical plays helps stimulate creative assets engender imagination in ways every adult should have cherished.

The school operates Monday through Friday at hours of 7:45 am - 5:15 pm which affords working parents comfort knowing that their child is in a safe and developmental environment while they attend to responsibilities.
