Nurturing Your Child's Natural Curiosity Through Our World-Renowned Montessori Method
At The School of Modern Montessori, we embrace a method of education that goes beyond traditional learning paradigms.
Founded over a century ago by Dr. Maria Montessori, the Montessori Method has been a beacon of innovative and child-centred education.
This method begins by grouping children vertically into three-year-cycle age groups: 3 months to 2 and a half years, two-and-a-half to six years old; six to nine years old; and nine to twelve years old.
This family-type structure encourages younger children to learn from older ones, and encourages the older children to be role models for their younger counterparts.
It also creates an atmosphere of security, as learners remain under the care of one directress for a longer period of time.
Here’s what makes our approach unique, especially for your pre-primary aged children:
Respect for the Child’s Pace:
Every child learns at their own pace and has unique interests and capabilities. In our classrooms, we honour this individuality by allowing children to choose activities that capture their interest, which they can explore in depth at their own rhythm. This freedom fosters independence and confidence from a young age.
Individual Instruction:
Almost all instruction at a Montessori school takes place on a one-on-one basis. This allows the directress to become familiar with and nurture the unique characteristics of each child.
Individual didactic materials are always provided during group lessons to allow children to learn at their own pace. Lessons are short, concise, direct and aimed at enhancing the child’s self-worth.
Didactic Materials:
Modern Montessori relies on specially designed didactic apparatus for every period of childhood development, beginning with simple learning tools for toddlers and then gradually moving on to more complex materials.
Each piece or set of equipment is designed to provide the child with a clear-cut experience and then gradually lead to more complicated tasks.
Learning Through Discovery:
Instead of traditional directive teaching, our educators guide children through a series of educational activities based on the principle of self-discovery. This method encourages children to interact with various learning materials, promoting active engagement and a deeper understanding of the subject matter. It's not just about learning facts but developing a love for learning itself
Prepared Environment:
Our classrooms are meticulously designed to offer a range of activities that are both accessible and challenging. Each piece of educational material has a specific place on the shelves, encouraging order and independence as children go about selecting their work. This environment is tailored to spark curiosity and facilitate the development of cognitive and motor skills.
In every classroom, learners are guided to make free and intelligent choices. All learning materials are placed within the child’s reach. Our classrooms are bright and full of living things such as plants and pets that children learn to care for.
Holistic Development:
Montessori education looks at the child holistically, striving to develop their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive capacities. Interactions within a mixed age group enable younger children to learn from older peers and vice versa, mirroring the natural learning conditions of a family.
Cultural Diversity and Inclusion:
Reflecting our diverse community, our curriculum includes elements that celebrate different cultures and perspectives, preparing children to become global citizens who appreciate and understand the world around them. One-on-one teaching allows us to cater to children who are academically gifted, and also those who may require some extra assistance

This Is What People Are Saying About Us
Luvoyo Citeko
My son has been with Modern Montessori for 4 years now, and he absolutely loves the school environment, the teachers and his friends. In the 4 years he has been with the school, we have witnessed tremendous improvement in his vocabulary, maths skills and his confidence. We also think the school has done an amazing job in teaching him independence. Thanks to the Montessori team for providing such an exciting learning journey for our kid.
Raihaan Cassim
Education is one of the most important gifts that any parent can give their child. We chose Modern Montessori for their unique approach where teaching the underpinnings of numeracy and literacy is chosen over simply enforcing through repetition. We can see the results in our children as they apply these fundamentals in everyday life and are able to self-learn. We would recommend Modern Montessori to any parent who wishes to give their child the best possible start in life.
Mohammed Majam
Modern Montessori provides a warm family environment which has enabled our children to flourish as individuals. The Montessori approach
enables them to develop and progress at their own pace which has given them confidence in their own abilities. Our favourite thing about the school is the environment which allows freedom of spirit you will be hard pressed to find in a standard school.
