Overview
At Lions Park Montessori School, we believe the first three years of life are a period of incredible psychic and physical development. As a premier provider of authentic Montessori education in beautiful Port Coquitlam, our program is deeply rooted in Maria Montessori’s philosophy of respecting the child's natural desire for independence, exploration, and self-construction.
