Authentic Montessori
Education in St. Catharines
Nelephant is committed to providing a true Montessori experience for young learners. We have been a CCMA-accredited school since 2003. Being certified by the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators (CCMA) ensures your child is immersed in a high-quality Montessori program that follows authentic Montessori Guidelines.
Toddler Program
The Toddler Program is a warm, loving community of children between 18 months to 3 years. Toddlers joyfully spend their time increasing independence, refining gross and fine motor skills, expanding vocabulary, and engaging with friends in a positive way.

The Casa Program is a peaceful working environment that prepares our 3 to 6 year old children for life-long learning. Children in our Casa program graduate with confidence, self-awareness, kindness, respect for others, and the joy of learning.

Support the Nelephant Community
In 1971, Nelephant Montessori School was founded thanks to generous gifts from parents and community members like you. Donations continue to make an immediate impact on our school, allowing us to purchase everything from new Montessori materials to playground equipment. Help us acheive our goals by becoming a Nelephant Community Supporter now. We are a registered charity and therefore tax receipts will be given for donations over a certain amount.
