Heritage Montessori strives brings out the best in each child In 2003 Shela Minhas opened the doors to Heritage Montessori School in Oakville after 20 years in the field. "I wanted to get involved in this field because I am a parent and a grandparent and children have always fascinated me," explains Minhas. "In the right environment children can do anything. They have unlimited potential. We can provide them with an opportunity to be their very best!" And that is exactly what Heritage Montessori strives to do. With tailor-made programs to suit the needs of working parents, "We offer individual programs because every child is unique and important to us." Heritage provides the best possible opportunity for children to be their best. "Our learning is not only academic," explains Minhas. "It involves drama, art, French, music, art, outdoor play and more. We also offer hot meals and snacks." Minhas explains that in the right environment, children can do anything. "They have unlimited potential!" Minhas believes that her staff is her asset. "When I was looking for my staff, I was looking for someone with a soul!," she says. "They are the ones that make the school, they are truly amazing people."
