Maria Montessori

 Maria Montessori (1870 to 1952) has been and still is one of the most influential pioneers in early childhood education. The Montessori approach to education, and one that is applied in our setting, is an approach that allows the children to develop in a natural way. Our aim is to provide the best possible conditions to promote physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development.

All the activities are displayed at child level and are presented (or explained how to use correctly) to the child by the Directress. Our environment allows children to choose their own activity, and to complete exercises at their own level in their own time. The Montessori equipment in our setting is used to make learning fun and easy; there is a variety of things to do, which cover almost every aspect of life itself. To us the children’s freedom, dignity and independence are of paramount importance.
