FIELD TRIPS

Specialized Services The school has a Speech Pathologist and Occupational Therapist available for consulting if your child requires special attention. In addition, when a school age child requires special services to assist their educational achievement, the school can apply to the Toronto Access Centre for funding.

Professional Behavior All employees and volunteers at Manor Montessori School understand acceptable and unacceptable strategies for guiding children's behavior.

Uniforms All children attending the school are required to wear the blue and white school uniform. Children are also required to wear the school crest. Parents can buy either logo clothing through the school or they can simply buy the school crests.
