Who We Are

We are a team of dedicated and passionate educators who strive to implement the Maria Montessori Method and sharing our knowledge to better prepare your children so that they can thrive.

The absorption of the environment is an intellectual activity. It is a psychic necessity that the child explores the environment; it satisfies his spirit. After he has had the satisfaction of observing one thing that interests him, he goes on until he is attracted by something else. In this way the child can walk for miles. ” Maria Montessori
