Our Mission
To provide a safe and nurturing child-centered environment that allows the child to learn and interact with their community based on Montessori principles, to become independent, compassionate and motivated for life long learning.
Why choose the Children´s Montessori Academy?

Our little yellow school is small, unique and authentic. Your child will never be just another face in the crowd. Our school is like a second family, a community of children within a caring and nurturing environment. This truly enhances the learning experience and creates lasting memories and friendships. Our children remember this special time in their lives and often drop by to visit long after graduation. You can learn more about our community on our social media links at the top of the page.

What is the Magic of the Children's House?

The magic of the Children’s House (Casa dei Bambini) lies in its ability to nurture the whole child – intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually – creating a foundation for a lifelong love of learning. The child-centered learning in a Montessori environment honors the unique strengths and abilities of each child, fostering a supportive and nurturing atmosphere where children can thrive. By placing the child at the center of the learning process, Montessori education empowers children to become confident, independent learners who are eager to explore the world around them.
