Before my (3 year old) daughter started at TRMS, I was struggling to understand the guidance she needed from me to work through big emotions and help our days go by with less struggle. After starting at TRMS, she and I both learned so much about the Montessori way. How to slow down and observe, how to appreciate and respect the world around us, how to care for our items and our space. I’ve learned how to step back to empower her to make some of her own decisions and allow her autonomy over her choices (don’t we all want that?!) This shift has led to a much calmer day to day and much less butting heads. My daughter LOVES the classroom environment but her guides are her favorite part of TRMS. Casey and Suzannah are both so patient and so loving with these students. It’s apparent that this job fills their hearts and is their life purpose. They are in tune with the students individual developmental needs and communicate openly about what they’re working on/how it’s going. They are responsive to parents even during the school day and have such beautiful pictures to share often. My daughter has made huge leaps in her growth from just 6 months here. I trust them with my whole heart to help support her and I in navigating through the 3-6 year old stages together. Everyone talks about needing a supporting village when you have children and the TRMS team is a huge part of mine.

A True Gem for Our Community! Choosing Trinity Rose Montessori School for its inaugural year in Ottawa has been the absolute best decision for our family. Before they opened, options for full-day preschool programs here were limited, and Trinity Rose has filled a critical gap in our community by offering an exceptional, high-quality Montesorri program right here in Ottawa! A major bonus for our family has been the school's flexibility. They offer both full-day and half-day curriculum options, along with convenient after-care once the kiddos' school day is complete. This flexibility is a lifesaver for working parents in a small town. The growth we have witnessed in our 4-year-old son over this past year has been nothing short of incredible. His teachers, Casey and Suzannah, are patient, compassionate, and intentional about every aspect of the program. They have encouraged our son’s independence, which has translated into our routines at home. They provide space for him to explore his own creative interests and encourage him to be his authentic self. Through their thoughtfully guided learning approach, he has flourished across every developmental area. Casey and Suzannah's guidance has made him confident and self-reliant outside the classroom. He has developed a strong sense of self-awareness and a genuine thoughtfulness toward others. We are amazed by his increased ability to sit independently and focus on individual tasks. The curriculum has sparked a vibrant interest in reading and numbers, setting a fantastic foundation for his future education. And finally, Trinity Rose has instilled a beautiful love for nature and respect for our planet. Seeing our son grow so much academically, emotionally, and socially in just one year is a testament to the dedication of Casey and Suzannah. We are incredibly grateful to have Trinity Rose Montessori School in Ottawa. If you are looking for a nurturing, flexible environment where your child will truly thrive, we cannot recommend Trinity Rose highly enough!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Trinity Rose Montessori School. My child has had such an incredible and meaningful experience here. He has absolutely thrived in so many ways—socially, emotionally, and academically. The friendships he has built and the confidence he’s gained have been amazing to watch. What really stands out is the hands-on, engaging approach to learning. Instead of being confined to a desk, he is encouraged to explore, create, and learn through real-life experiences. The amount of time spent outdoors, connecting with nature, has been such a gift. The entire environment feels so natural, nurturing, and supportive—it’s truly something special. Casey and Suzannah have been beyond kind, thoughtful, and dedicated. They have become such an important part of our lives, and it genuinely feels like they are part of our family. Their care and passion for what they do shines through every single day. We are so incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our son and feel so lucky to be part of this community.

Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori was a trailblazing, Italian physician and scientist known for her philosophy of education and her writing on scientific pedagogy. She believed in children learning naturally and developing a natural love for learning. Montessori also believed that world peace could be achieved through education. Respect and care for others and the environment is a cornerstone of a Montessori education. Her scientific observations led her to create the Montessori Method of Education. Montessori… Learning by doing since 1907.
