Family Montessori School Society

What Family Montessori says..

Family Montessori School Society is the longest operating non-profit Montessori preschool in Vancouver. Our first classroom, located in False Creek near Granville Island on Sitka Square, opened in 1980. Our second classroom was originally situated at the Dunbar Heights Baptist Church, but was relocated to the Jericho Hill Centre on West 4th Avenue in 1995. The two classrooms operate as one non-profit society and are governed by a parent-run volunteer Board of Directors.
