We follow a child-centred, Montessori approach to education that focuses on nurturing each child’s natural curiosity and desire to learn. In Montessori spaces, children engage in hands-on, experiential learning activities that foster independence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. 

Montessori is a scientific approach to early childhood education that was developed by Doctor Maria Montessori (1870-1952), Physician, Anthropologist, and Pedagogue.
