We believe that each child has a natural desire to learn, to explore, and to take part in the world around them.
We nurture this desire following the principles and practices established by Dr.
Maria Montessori. Our classrooms contain a prepared environment and special materials designed to develop and reinforce the child's independence and encourage their intellectual, social and behavioral development.
Each child is treated as an individual and allowed to learn at his/her own pace.
Through this approach, the child develops self confidence, responsibility and a love for learning.
