Child-centered learning that nurtures independence, curiosity, and lifelong skills
Montessori education was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician who observed how children learn naturally. Rather than traditional teacher-led instruction, the method is built around each child's interests, hands-on materials, and mixed-age classrooms. At Friendship Corner Daycare, we bring these principles to life every day for children from 30 months to school age.
We are a Licensed Group Daycare in Coquitlam, BC, serving children from 30 months to school age. Our program blends Montessori principles with BC's early learning framework: prepared environments, choice within structure, and close partnership with families. Children experience practical life, sensorial, language, math, and cultural activities in a warm, inclusive setting.
