Standards
We follow the educational philosophy and curriculum as envisioned by Dr. Maria Montessori by upholding to the A.M.I. (Association Montessori Internationale) standards:
- Lessons are always given by a trained Montessori teacher.
- The classroom has a full range of Montessori materials as recommended by A.M.I.
- Children attend the program five days a week.
- The classroom has a three-year age mix (3, 4, 5 year olds) where the older children (4 and 5 year olds) have previous Montessori experience.
- Our teachers hold an age-appropriate A.M.I. diploma.
- Part- time sessions (half-day) are only offered in the morning.
- Children begin Montessori before the age of four, ideally between 2 ½ and 3 ½.
- All classes have a three-hour uninterrupted work cycle.
- Specialist teachers do not interrupt the children’s work cycle.
- Children are encouraged to complete the three-year program.
- All teachers stay with the same class for at least three years.
- All parents are offered an opportunity to participate in parent workshops and lectures.
