Montessori Education is a holistic approach that encourages and supports children to develop physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.
Children work individually at their own pace with specially-selected equipment and materials. This self-guided structured learning grows children’s ability to ‘learn how to learn’ as they become adaptive, creative and resilient, able to live confidently in an ever changing world.
