Montessori Learning Center of Pickering

by Mrs. Iyer

May 30, 2013

I am looking to admit my son into a Montessori school. He is currently in grade 3 in a public school, has articulation and language difficulties, some hearing problems, and has been bullied at school. He does not feel like going to school and claims has only one good friend who is also moving soon. I believe a smaller class room and some individual attention will help him. Any reviews or tips on this Montessori School - Montessori Learning Centre of Pickering - is greatly appreciated.
