We embrace the natural genius inherent in all children and encourage them to discover and connect concepts at their own pace.

Music, French, ballet, soccer, and more, expose children to new concepts, sounds, and movements to nurture and grow new skill sets.

We guarantee your child’s academic and social-emotional school readiness thanks to our child-led approach, highly qualified teachers, and immersive environment.

As they take on personal responsibilities like hand-washing, setting the table, and cleaning up after themselves, children gain confidence and practical life skills.

We fulfill our promise to keep your child safe with restricted building access, staff background checks, and cameras in our classrooms, for your peace of mind.

Spacious playgrounds allow children to build strength and agility, appreciate the outdoors, and benefit from the natural joy it brings.

Your Child Will Take The
Lead In Their Learning

Montessori classrooms and materials encourage curiosity and discovery. Your child will progress at the pace that is unique and perfect for them. In a patient, kind and nurturing environment, children learn to take responsibility for their growth, both academic and emotional.

Building Confidence With Practical Skills For Navigating the World

Through everyday activities, children learn coordination and dexterity, how to take care of themselves and their environment, and how to interact with others. As they dress, clean, ask for help, and participate in the classroom, they develop self-esteem and independence.

Spectacular Playgrounds For Building Strength and Agility

With outdoor activities, children build the fine and gross motor skills to be confident, strong movers. They dance, jump, throw and catch. They climb on the natural play structures in our spacious and beautiful yard. Our Nature-rich curriculum builds their skills and healthy, active habits.

We Promise To Keep Your
Child Safe and Sound

We limit outside access to our building and as an added measure have cameras in our classrooms. There are fewer students per teacher so that we are vigilant and ever-watchful. We promise to keep your precious little one happy and safe, laughing and learning.

Your Child Will Be Ready for Kindergarten and Beyond

Through our multidisciplinary, immersive and child-led approach to academic areas including mathematics, science and literacy, as well as more creative and social skills, children are more than prepared for their next steps. Kindergarten readiness is 100% guaranteed, as is reading at Kindergarten level, or higher.

Enriching Young Lives for Excellence With Music, Mandarin, Ballet, and More

Children’s education is enhanced with chances to learn additional languages including French and Mandarin, and to explore new physical disciplines such as Soccer and ballet. A range of field trips, from zoos and farms to aquariums and museums, take place throughout the year, to broaden their horizons.

Supporting Children By
Partnering With Parents

Our open-door policy allows parents to communicate with ease and transparency. A system is in place to ensure parents are supported, and channels of communication include home visits, settling-in sessions, regular parent meetings, and parent participation days.

Stay Informed Of Your Child’s Day With eyLog

At the end of each day, you’ll get a daily report from our communication app, eyLog. Details of your child’s day include nap times, what your child ate, nappy changes, and toileting times. You will love the sweet pictures and videos that teachers send throughout the day.

Sensory Experiences
Enrich Daily Learning

By taking notice of the size, aroma, taste, weight, texture, temperature, colour and sound of specially designed objects and materials, children learn to focus their attention and solve problems for themselves, forming crucial foundations for maths, language, and self-expression.

Writing, Verbal Communication, and Creative
Expression Every Day

Children learn to express themselves through stories, poetry, rhymes and songs. Teachers consistently model writing techniques and Montessori language materials guide children in letter formation. We explore additional languages to reinforce children’s skills and broadening cultural knowledge.

Exploring Self-Expression
Through Creativity
and Innovation

Children express themselves through art and music, as well as woodwork and cookery. Using their imaginations and a range of materials, they not only have daily chances to be creative, but to develop their dexterity with drawing, painting, building, and mixing activities.

Montessori Materials Approach Science and Maths
with Creativity

Children encounter the world and explore new ideas in an immersive environment. Topics like lifecycles and physics are investigated through plants, rocks and the weather. Through space, shape, size and patterns, children begin to explore mathematical concepts like sorting and counting.
