Testimonials

    On behalf of the recreation team here at Chartwell Niagara, Thank You for spending time showing us how to put the program in place to best suit the needs of the residents living here.

    The staff are excited to get started.

    We love the kits. Use them daily and have found them very effective in reducing responsive behaviours for even our most difficult residents. We also have found them effective with our residents who have developmental disabilities I.e autism, down syndrome

    The Montessori Implementation Workshop was quick and easy. The presenter did and excellent job explaining the approach and how to use the activities. The Montessori kits are easy to use and worked beautifully with person I’m caring for. She stays busy for longer periods of time and that gives me more time to do other duties.
