I am ready for a long road flight for working with a week- or months-long projects.
Welcome from the Founder
Dear Families, Teachers, and Students,
It is with great joy that I extend a warm welcome to each of you in our Hopscotch Montessori School community! As the founder of our international network, I have been driven by a vision and belief: that every child possesses a unique spark of potential waiting to be ignited. When we opened our very first campus in Europe in 2008, I envisioned a sanctuary for children—a place where happiness is abundant, curiosity is nurtured, and every family is enveloped in service and warmth. I asked myself a fundamental question: "What would I desire for my own children? And how can we, as educators, honor the trust parents place in us?" Now, 16 years later, my commitment remains steadfast.

At Hopscotch, our decisions are rooted in the best interests of our children, ensuring a psychologically comfortable atmosphere where they can thrive at their own pace and according to their interests. We welcome families from diverse backgrounds and encourage our students to become global citizens from a young age. Across all our campuses, every student is immersed in a rich tapestry of global experiences, encountering different languages, cultures, and artistic expressions. We place great importance on fostering an appreciation for each other's backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives. Our program seamlessly blends the timeless principles of the Montessori Method with the latest and most innovative educational approaches.
I am deeply honored to partner with a distinguished group of teachers, a leadership team, and families—individuals who share our unwavering dedication to the holistic development of every child entrusted to our care. Together, we form a community of 300 families across three different countries, bound by a common purpose: to inspire, educate, and nurture the next generation of creators, leaders, and changemakers.
Our goal is to continue providing exceptional educational services in Toronto, helping children develop independence, systems thinking, a mindset of sustainability, and a lifelong love of learning. We are ambassadors of holistic education, emphasizing a balance of body, mind, and soul. We equally value real-life skills, creativity, social-emotional development, and academic skills.
