About Little Me Montessori
Nurturing the whole child, profoundly, passionately, unconditionally.
Who we are
Little Me Montessori House of Children was founded in 2018 and has been a trusted place where young children begin their learning journey in a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment. We believe that early childhood is a time of curiosity, discovery and wonder, so we diligently follow the Montessori philosophy both in spirit and in the method of working. Our strong team of trained Montessori adults, aim to make each child independent, which paves the way for building the foundations of one’s personality. At the heart of our preschool, we remain committed to continuous improvement, professional growth, and strong partnership with parents.
Our approach
The Montessori Method of Education was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and world-renowned educationalist, after her 23 years of research and scientific observations of 'sensitive periods' of children from birth to adolescence. It is a child-centric educational approach based on a self-directed activity and hands-on learning while being guided by a trained adult. It aims at making the children work towards their independence and thrive to one's full potential.
