DISCOVER OUR MONTESSORI DIFFERENCE
Following Children's Natural Curiosity
PROGRAMS
Our infant program is designed for children aged 8 weeks to 18 months. Our nurturing environment fosters exploration and independence, allowing infants to develop at their own pace. We maintain a 3:1 ratio of infants to adults.
The Montessori toddler program
(12 months to 3 years) fosters independence and curiosity. In a prepared environment, toddlers engage in hands-on activities that promote sensory exploration and motor skills.
The Montessori Primary Program, for children aged 2 ½ to 6, promotes a love for learning through hands-on experiences. Children explore subjects at their own pace, developing thinking and social skills in a nurturing environment.
