Montessori Explained

The Montessori Method of education is a unique method which places emphasis in educating the whole child, covering all aspects of their development- intellectual, social, physical, emotional and spiritual.

Our nurturing environment ensures that each child

• Develops at his/her own pace
• Reaches his/her full potential
• Receives individual attention, love and security
• Is able to flourish through self discipline and self discovery
• Experiences a happy, calm, safe environment where learning is fun

• Montessori children continue to show positive social and behaviour development in all areas
• Children achieve self-discipline, independence, confidence and virtues of patience
• Montessori children are awakened spiritually through the love and care of nature
• Children learn to respect everyone and everything around them and gain a holistic perspective of the world they live in
• The Montessori environment encourages order, responsibility and kindles in them the spirit for life- long learning
