Our Legacy

Four Decades of Community, Built One Child at a Time

Since opening our doors in 1979, Applewood Rainbow has grown into far more than a school. We are a living community, one where parents become lifelong friends, where siblings follow in each other's footsteps, and where former students return to enrol their own children.

Our guides have walked alongside hundreds of Mississauga families across generations, holding firm to the belief that childhood deserves patience, beauty, and deep respect. That commitment has never wavered, and it never will.

Voices from Our Community

Families who have trusted us, some for a single year, some across generations.

"Applewood Rainbow Montessori has been an incredible experience for our family, and I can confidently say it stands out among other Montessori schools in the area. Having had another child attend a different local Montessori, the difference here is truly noticeable.

From the moment you walk in, there's a calm, nurturing atmosphere that immediately puts both children and parents at ease. The environment is thoughtfully designed to support not just academic growth, but emotional well-being too, and it shows. My children have made remarkable progress in their academics, but just as importantly, they're genuinely happy. They wake up excited to go to school every day, which says everything.

The teachers are exceptional, warm, attentive, and deeply committed to each child's development. It's clear they truly care, and that makes a huge difference. The leadership reflects that same level of dedication. Ms. Rangooni, the owner, is one of the kindest and most compassionate individuals I've met. Her genuine care for the students and families creates a strong sense of community throughout the school.

Another highlight is the balance the school provides. The location is fantastic, and the program thoughtfully blends indoor learning with outdoor time, giving children a well-rounded daily experience. I also really appreciate the added enrichment opportunities, like group visits to the library, which help foster curiosity and a love of learning. The French program is another standout feature, it's engaging and adds great value to the curriculum.

Overall, Applewood Rainbow Montessori offers a supportive, enriching, and joyful environment where children can truly thrive. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a school that prioritizes both academic excellence and the happiness of its students."
