What is Montessori Pedagogy?

Montessori pedagogy, developed by Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, is based on specific educational principles designed to promote learning and autonomy in children. It emphasizes creating an environment suited to the child's age, where they are encouraged to discover the world at their own pace. Montessori materials, specially designed for safe and child-friendly use, are available to children to help them develop fine motor skills, concentration, and cognitive abilities.

How Does a Montessori Nursery Work?

Montessori nurseries follow the principles of Montessori pedagogy from a very young age, even for infants. They offer different structures, such as the “Nido” for babies – typically from 3 months to around 15 months – and the “Children's House” for toddlers, tailored to the specific needs of each age group.

The “Nido” is a facility specifically designed for infants, focusing on creating a calm and secure environment. Infants are surrounded by Montessori materials adapted to their age, promoting sensory development and free movement. The staff, made up of early childhood professionals, is trained to meet the needs of the babies and encourage their exploration of the world around them.

KidsCare Special Feature: Our educational teams receive ongoing training in Montessori pedagogy as well as the Pikler approach.

The “Children's House” is the next stage, where older children can continue in the Montessori environment. Montessori nurseries have classrooms equipped with Montessori educational materials. Children are encouraged to choose their activities, work independently, and collaborate with their peers. This approach promotes active learning and problem-solving.

What Are the Benefits of a Montessori Nursery?

Montessori nurseries offer many advantages for children and their families. 

Here are some reasons why more and more parents choose this type of establishment:

  • Promotes social development: Children learn to interact positively with others, share, and resolve conflicts constructively within a supportive community.
  • Autonomy: Montessori pedagogy allows children to make decisions and become more autonomous, which boosts their self-confidence. This will be highly beneficial in their future lives.
  • Child-friendly environment: Montessori nurseries are designed to be at the children's level, with furniture and materials that match their size and development.
  • Active learning: Children are active participants in their own learning, which fosters their natural curiosity and desire to learn.
  • Free movement: The environment encourages free movement, allowing children to explore their own physical abilities and develop their motor skills.

Within our network of nurseries and day care centers, we have several Montessori facilities that welcome children from 2 months to 4 years old. Our nurseries offer the same services and operate according to the same principles as all Montessori nurseries. However, we provide some additional services:

  • Multilingual environment and education: Our international teams introduce children to English, French, and Luxembourgish in a daily and natural way – during meals or reading time, for example.
  • Organic and local meals: Early childhood professionals serve high-quality meals made with fresh products every day.
  • Eco-responsible reception: We promote a zero-waste and zero-plastic policy within our facilities. Additionally, our materials and furniture are made from FSC and PEFC certified wood.
