Montessori Method

We are fully committed to nurturing the whole child, encompassing their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical well-being, through a personalised and interactive approach to education that fosters growth and development in all areas of their lives.

Prepared Environment

Our carefully prepared Montessori environment allows children the freedom to choose their activities based on their interests and developmental needs. This child-led approach aims to foster independence, self-motivation, a sense of responsibility, and self-discipline, while promoting a love for learning and a positive self-image.

“Children are highly independent in making choices and leading their own learning. They excitedly engage with an extensive range of stimulating activities within the carefully planned learning environment. The manager is ambitious and inspiring. She and staff successfully bring together their extensive range of professional knowledge, experience and training to create an exceptional learning environment and curriculum.”
