High Quality Early Childhood Education
Founded in 2008, Little Koala Montessori Academy expanded to its Richmond (Blundell) location in 2011 and the Surrey location in 2013. In 2017, Little Koala Montessori Academy opened its third location in the City of Abbotsford. The Abbotsford branch was established with the Major Capital Funding awarded by the Ministry of Children and Family and was licensed for 20 infant and toddlers and 50 children from 3 years to school age. In 2020 and 2021, the Delta location and Richmond (Clarke) location opened its doors to provide a total of 110 childcare spaces to families. Little Koala Montessori Academy has now established 5 locations in the local community.
At Little Koala Montessori Academy, we provide high-quality early childhood education. We use Montessori materials and a Reggio Emilia inspired classroom environment to support children’s development. We care about the whole child, including children’s physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and developmental well-being.
