Focused
Tailored to a specific range of students from 18 months of age to 4.5 years old.
Our Mission
To provide a playful education to children, that awakens their desire to learn, sparks their curiosity and stimulates their creative potential – through meaningful, relevant and developmentally appropriate practices. To offer a community of learning where each child is valued for what makes him unique, where childhood is respected and valued, where play is always advocated for, and where the emotional well-being of the child is prioritized.
Our Methodology
A play-based methodology supported by neuroscience as the best way of learning in early childhood. A child-directed or child-led school, where children are seen as the engineers of their learning experience and teachers are mediators & companions who offer invitations to play, based on the child’s stage of development and interests.
At our school children spend most of their time engaged in play (e.g. pretend/dramatic play, creative play, movement, construction play, sensory play). From the Montessori Approach, our school also emphasizes on promoting the development of independence and autonomy in the child by working on practical, daily-life skills. We do this by offering weekly Cooking Classes, Gardening Sessions and Community Projects that allow our students to put their skills at work, test their abilities and gain self-confidence and autonomy.
Our Approach
A gentle discipline approach where mutual respect is shared between the adult and the child. One that teaches children what to do and what behaviors are appropriate, instead of using any type of punishment.
Rather than using strategies such as “time out” or “discipline charts”, our teachers use social emotional strategies to teach children about healthy limits; how to establish them and how to respect the limits of each other.
