Has been serving the local and international community for 40+ years, well-versed in the Montessori Method and preparing children for life in bigger schools (international, national+, overseas). Very suited for children starting their first steps in school. Montessori children are adaptable. Since they have been encouraged to make decisions from an early age, these children are problem-solvers who can make choices and manage their time well. They have also been encouraged to exchange ideas and to discuss their work freely with others. |
