Our Community

Kind Words from Former Directors and Parents

Sinah Yang worked at Les Petits Artistes Montessori Centre for over a decade as an AMI Montessori and Early Childhood Educator, later serving as our Head Teacher. She was deeply committed to children’s learning, safety, and emotional well-being. Sinah is a creative educator who thoughtfully adapts activities to meet each child’s needs and supports families with care and professionalism. She is well-respected by staff and parents alike. I am confident she will continue to provide high-quality childcare and make a positive difference in the lives of children.
Sadia Belaidi (Director)
All of our children attended daycare with Sinah, and they each had a wonderful experience. She genuinely cares for the children and carefully selects kind and capable teachers. The program included creative and outdoor activities, while maintaining structure and safety. Our kids always felt happy and welcomed at daycare. We are very grateful for the caring environment Sinah provided.
Cheryl Nelms (Parent)
Our oldest child first joined Miss Sinah’s class after being cared for at home, and we had concerns about her fine-motor development. Thanks to the Montessori program and Miss Sinah’s guidance, she improved significantly in a short time and gained much more confidence. Since then, all three of our children have joined her class and truly enjoy attending. We completely trust Miss Sinah to provide a warm, structured, and supportive learning environment.
Mother of Rua, Roun & Roun (Parent)
Sinah is an amazing Montessori teacher and educator! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for over 5 years and can confidently say she’s one of the most dedicated, compassionate, and talented early childhood educators I’ve met. Her passion for nurturing children’s growth is truly inspiring. As she opens her own daycare, I’m excited to see her vision come to life. Her expertise, creativity, and big heart will make it a wonderful place for children and parents alike.
Delaram Dadras
Owner & Manager @ Story Place Childcare Center
I had the privilege of working closely with Sinah for three years while she served as a Lead Teacher at Granville House Montessori, where she played an integral role in shaping and enriching our program. Sinah consistently demonstrated remarkable creativity, reliability, and thoughtfulness in her teaching, always going above and beyond to meet the needs of each child. Her approach to education is both intentional and compassionate, blending academic learning with hands-on, Montessori-based experiences that engage children’s curiosity and foster independent thinking. She is not only highly professional and organized, but also deeply committed to nurturing each child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. Sinah’s dedication, passion, and collaborative spirit have left a lasting impact on our school community. She has inspired both colleagues and students alike, and her influence continues to be felt in the growth and confidence of the children she has guided.
