 Moving Up Kindergarten and Elementary Community

Children moving into Kindergarten or Elementary will be supported through a gradual and intentional transition process. For families whose children are advancing to the Elementary level, we are happy to share that:

Bursaries are available!


DID YOU KNOW?

Thanks to CWELCC funding and our Elementary bursaries, today’s tuition has been reduced by nearly 70%
.
Programs like this previously cost $1,200–$1,600 per month, plus additional fees for before- and after-school care.

Now, with the support of government bursaries, your child has greater access than ever to our unique Montessori and Nature-based education —at a significantly reduced fee, plus the B/A program is included in the fee!
.
This is a wonderful opportunity to provide your child with high-quality, enriched learning in a nurturing and natural environment, from Kindergarten through the Elementary years (ages 6–12)
.
