 Welcome to Blaisdale Montessori School
Celebrating 39 years of Educational
Excellence this September
1969 – 2008
Blaisdale Montessori School was founded in 1969
by Mrs. Eleanor Wilson. Blaisdale Montessori School was one of
the first Montessori School's in Canada. Mrs. Wilson was one of the original
founding members of the C.C.M.A. (Canadian Council of Montessori
Administrators). The C.C.M.A. is the professional
organization and regulating body for Montessori Schools. Blaisdale Montessori School
one of the biggest, most established and reputable schools in Canada. The school began on the corner of Blaisdale Rd. and Kecala,
in East Toronto and has grown to include 9 campuses throughout Pickering,
Scarborough, Ajax , Whitby and Oshawa.
Blaisdale Montessori School's Principal, Ms.
H. Wilson is one of the few principals in Canada who was trained by Renilde
Montessori (A.M.I.). This is regarded as the best Montessori Training
in the world. Renilde Montessori is the grandaugther of Maria
Montessori. Maria Montessori was the founder and brilliance
behind the Montessori Method of Education . Ms. H Wilson is Mrs.
Wilson's daughter and was also one of the inspirations for the school and
one of Blaisdale's first students.
Among the goals for which we strive are: a sound
basis and a healthy attitude for life-long learning, self discipline,
self-respect, independence, getting along with others while developing a
social conscience, initiative, ability to concentrate, self-confidence,
spiritual growth and a respect for the environment. In regard to
discipline, we use the Adlerian approach which is based on respect for the
child, and encourages the concept of self worth.
Blaisdale's curriculum is posted
under Programs under the children's age group.
