JUNIPER EARLY LEARNING CENTER
Montessori education is known for following the child, respecting their own pace of development while fostering their interests, and promoting independence, both within the structure of the classroom and out in the wider world. Juniper Early Learning Center is a vibrant, international community of learners, where children and adults can learn from each other, by teaching and by doing. We strive to create a respectful and peaceful environment where students can grow and be who they are. At Juniper Early Learning Center, we believe that each person- child, parent and staff, brings something unique and valuable to our community.
We invite you to visit our school, and spend time in our classrooms, to see how children interact with one another and with the adults who are their guides and teachers. See how responsibility and independence are fostered, how the child-appropriate environment makes it possible for children to do what they are capable of, and how adults follow the child's lead to meet his/her developmental needs. Come meet our faculty, learn more about our programs for children aged 18 months to 6 years, (as well as for school aged children attending our program before/after school). Call our office to book a tour and see why children love being here. We look forward to meeting you!
We have spaces in our 3-5 programs, both full day and Extended Day Kinder Prep for the upcoming school year
Application Process
To be considered for admission, families must complete the following steps:
​
Complete an Inquiry Form through Brightwheel (follow the above link)
Parents are welcome to observe a classroom (in or out of session) and have an informational tour of the classroom and teacher of the program that you are interested in.
If this is of interest, please call the office at (250) 374-9565 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
If you are unable to visit us in person, we invite you to watch our video tour.
Please click here: Video Tour
The Application:
- Once we have received your Inquiry Form we will contact you when a space becomes available
- Once you have been informed there is a space available, we will send you a registration package through Brightwheel for completion which includes: Fee Schedule Agreement, Registration Form, Health Form, Consent Forms
- $100 Enrolment Fee must be submitted as the final step in the acceptance of your application
​
Please note: If your child is going to age out of their program throughout the school year, you must speak to the classroom teacher in the next program to secure a spot. This would apply to toddlers turning 3 or 5 year old's moving to kindergarten. While we will do our best to ensure a spot in the next age group, we cannot guarantee the same scheduled days or immediate availability. If you wish to pay a holding fee throughout the year to guarantee the spot, that can be arranged. Please inquire about this upon registration if your child will be changing programs throughout the year.
Annual Open House
​
We complete the majority of our admissions at our Annual Open House, in Early-Mid February. We send an invitation to all those that have completed an Inquiry Form and are on our waitlists. Registration is dependent on how many openings we have for the following school year and is not guaranteed, if we do not have children aging out of those programs.
We will update this when we have set a date for our 2027 Open House!
