About Us

Montessori Education

The teaching methods and curricula are based firmly on the insights, materials and discoveries of Dr Maria Montessori. This is captured in our mission statement:

“Help me to do it myself”

The constant driving force is the need for independence, interdependence and sustainability in all areas of development: physical, social and spiritual.

Our Vision

That our Service is based on the theories of Dr Maria Montessori in the discovery of “sensitive periods” in the development of human beings and our understanding of human tendencies in establishing prepared environments for mixed age ranges of children corresponding to their interests, in an atmosphere of peace in which freedom is balanced with responsibility.

The outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework are achieved as children develop themselves following their interests in sensory-motor skills, discrimination and judgement, socialisation, creative intelligence and communication.
