The Story of My Montessori School

My life changed completely when I became a mother twelve years ago. Like all new parents I immediately wanted to do the very best for my son. I already knew from studying child development and psychology about the importance of the first six years of life. How do I install a growth mindset? What language do I use? How do I raise a resilient child that doesn’t give up? How do I teach gratitude? How do I raise him happy and joyful? My journey began.

That’s when my real journey began.

I searched for a nursery where my son could thrive, where curiosity was honoured, learning was joyful, and teachers truly understood children. I wanted a space where he would feel free to be himself and grow into a confident, independent human.

But I couldn’t find that space.

So I built it. 

My Montessori School  was born out of that vision.

It was a dream turned into reality.

A place where all children are nurtured and loved, where their individuality and personality are highly respected and they are not ‘pushed’ to conform and comply.

A place, where joy is in the air and the innate love for learning is further cultivated.

A place, where teachers are calm, peaceful, in love with what they do and with a deep understanding of the children’s soul.

A place where children feel the freedom to be who they are and where they are surrounded by order, harmony and beauty.

We ran for seven years, supporting hundreds of families and growing a community grounded in respect, love, and learning.

And now, as that chapter closes, a new one begins.
