Our Casa Community offers children aged 2.5 to 6 years an educational environment prepared by a qualified Montessori Directress. The Montessori curriculum offers five key areas of study: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Culture.

Each learning area is made up of Montessori materials that teach a specific skill. Maria Montessori's prepared environment is designed so everything the child contacts maximises independent learning and exploration.

The calm, beautiful, well-ordered environment offers freedom of movement and choice of activity guided by the child's inner will. Alongside the Montessori curriculum, children participate in Music, French and Phys. Ed once per week.

We have two Casa classrooms — Casa One (maximum 24 students) and Casa Two (maximum 22 students).
