A Word From Our Director
The Montessori program emphasises learning through the senses to encourage brain development and complements the early stages of development. Through a structured and scientifically designed curriculum, the renowned Montessori approach encourages children to become aware of the importance of the contribution they make to the world through peace education, social responsibility and how to take care of and protect our world (eco friendly education).
“I am so passionate about the Montessori approach and the way it fosters independence, responsibility and confidence in our children. Please come and meet me and our nurturing educators, see our centre… we would love to care for your child during the most precious time of their lives.“
“Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.”
– Maria Montessori
