"The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life."
– Dr. Maria Montessori
Dr. Maria Montessori, born in 1870, was the first woman in Italy to receive a medical degree. She worked in the fields of psychiatry, education and anthropology. She believed that each child is born with a unique potential to be revealed rather than as a “blank slate” waiting to be written upon. Her main contributions to raising and educating children are in these areas:
Cambridge Montessori Children's Center Inc., founded in BC, Canada, in 2007, provides a caring community that nurtures each child's natural curiosity for learning. Our program encourages the full development of social, emotional, physical, academic, artistic, and life skills. We instill lifelong learning in our children by allowing them to develop at their own pace, according to their unique needs. When in a friendly, clean, and safe environment inspires them to realize their full potential while enjoying life's journey.

Ms. Anrie took Early Childhood Education in 2015 in Vancouver. She holds a Montessori Diploma from Montitute International. The most rewarding part of working with children is watching them learn, create, discover, and express their individuality uniquely. While children are away from family and home, it is important to make them feel accepted, secure, safe, and loved, which is her goal to provide for them. She hopes to inspire, motivate, and guide all children entrusted to our care to the best of her ability. “All our handling of the child will bear fruit, not only at the moment but in the adult they are destined to become” – Maria Montessori “ Train up a child the way he should go….” (Proverbs 22:6)
