About Us

Affordable Montessori Material Inc. (AMMI) was founded in 2004 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  In 2010, the Gilani family bought over Affordable Montessori Material Inc.(AMMI) and moved its operation to a suburb of Toronto; Pickering.

Mr. Nadir Gilani, President and CEO of AMMI has been involved in the education system for over 20years;  7 years of which he spent as a teacher and another 15 years as  director of Aga Khan Education Services Company of India where he was the chairperson for the Aga Khan schools  in India.  With his experience and knowledge of the education system in general, Mr. Gilani understands the importance of education and the need for having a strong basic foundation on which future knowledge will be gained.  As such, his mission with AMMI is to ensure the top quality product for Montessori educationist and their complete satisfaction with the product and service.  It is his hope that this in turn will foster a happy and effective learning environment for the young minds of the Montessori system.

Affordable Montessori Material Inc’s operation is headed by Ms. Naghma Gilani and Mr. Rahim Gilani.   Naghma holds a Masters of Arts Degree with major in Economics and Rahim holds a degree in Aviation Management along with 10 years of experience in operating multiple franchise stores. Since their position with the company, a lot of research and development has taken place within the company resulting in improvement in quality and expansion in the product line.  They have met with various teachers from different institutions to gather the need of today’s Montessori teachings.  Quality of product was by far the most important aspect considering it was used to train the young minds and given in their hands for tactile understanding.  Rahim and Naghma took to the challenge and have since then sourced few manufacturers from around the globe to improve the quality of material supplied by AMMI.
