Wise Owl Early Learning Centre was created by educators Patricia Lomelli and Alysha Sumar, who share a deep passion for early childhood education.
After years of working with young children, they wanted to create a space where children could learn and explore at their own pace. A place where children feel free to explore, imagine, and discover what excites them, and where every child feels loved, understood, and supported.
Their vision was to build an environment that combines the thoughtful structure of Montessori with the freedom of play-based learning. At Wise Owl, children are guided with care while having the space to explore, ask questions, and discover the world around them.
At Wise Owl Early Learning Centre, we believe children learn best when they feel supported, curious, and engaged in what they are doing.
Our educators combine Montessori principles with play-based learning to create activities that encourage exploration, creativity, and independence. Children are guided with care while having the freedom to follow their interests and discover new ideas.

Guiding each child’s development with patience and care
At the heart of our program is a simple belief: when children feel safe and respected, they flourish. Our educators draw on Montessori principles to design environments and experiences that invite curiosity, where children make choices, solve problems, and discover what they’re capable of.
Every interaction is intentional. Through warm relationships, positive guidance, and rich social experiences, we nurture not just academic readiness, but who they’re becoming: their confidence, their kindness, and their genuine joy in learning.
Our teachers never stop learning. From first aid and emergency training to ongoing coursework — both online and in person — our educators stay sharp, current, and fully certified.
But professional growth here goes beyond checkboxes. Through mentorship, collaborative planning, and reflective practice, our team shares what’s working, challenges each other to improve, and keeps the passion for teaching alive. The result: a classroom where every child is in skilled, caring, and deeply committed hands.
