Montessori education stands apart from traditional childcare by prioritising personalised learning. In our Montessori Academy centres, each child's unique style, stage, and interests are catered to, fostering independence, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning. Montessori environments provide specially designed materials and guidance for hands-on, active learning, empowering children to discover their full potential. 

They observe children’s interests, direct them towards activities suited to their stage of development, and create a positive atmosphere for learning that allows children to discover learning outcomes in their own time.

    We started with Montessori a year ago in the youngest group. The adjustment wasn't easy but the staff was very supportive both to the parents and our little girl. The centre is a very smart build, we particularly like that they have separate cot rooms and beds for older children (not mattresses). Also every room has its own access to the outdoor play area. The Montessori activities suit children's age and keep our little one busy and happy there, also in mind with the development support, like playing with tongs (our MCH nurse was very impressed as it was something she recommended doing at home, and we already did for at least 6 months in the centre). In general every room we went (already 3) is very tidy and organised and all the staff is friendly and supportive to the kids. We can definitely say that our girl learns a lot there, like counting till 10, painting , singing different songs, reading books and just good social skills they introduce to the children. We are very glad to choose Montessori from the start and highly recommend it!

    The staff is super friendly and genuinely cares about each child. They really take the time to get to know the kids and tailor their learning experiences to fit their interests.What I love most is how they focus on both academics and emotional growth. It’s clear that they want to help kids become independent thinkers while also feeling secure and happy.
