nurseries Montessori have gained popularity in recent years, in different regions of the world, by offering a unique approach to the education and development of toddlers. In this article, we will explore pedagogy in detail Montessori, the specific functioning of nurserys Montessori, as well as the many benefits they offer children.

What is pedagogy Montessori ?

Pedagogy Montessori, developed by Maria Montessori at the beginning of the 20th century, is based on specific educational principles which aim to promote children's learning and autonomy. It focuses on creating an age-appropriate environment for children, where they are encouraged to discover the world at their own pace. Equipment Montessori, specially designed for safe and child-friendly use, is available to children to help them develop their fine motor skills, their concentration and their cognitive skills.

How does a nursery work? Montessori ?

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

Le “Nido” is a facility specifically designed for infants, where the emphasis is on creating a calm and safe environment. Toddlers are surrounded by equipment Montessori adapted to their age, promoting sensory development and free motor skills. The staff, made up of Early Childhood professionals, is trained to meet the needs of babies and encourage their exploration of the world around them.

A little extra KidsCare : our educational teams are continuously trained on pedagogy Montessori as well as the approach Pikler.

La “Children’s House” is the next step where older children have the opportunity to continue in the universe Montessori. Nurseries Montessori have classrooms equipped with educational materials Montessori. Children are encouraged to choose their activities, work independently and collaborate with their peers. This approach promotes active learning and problem solving.

Our nurserys offer the same services and have the same operation as all nurserys Montessori. However, we have some additional services:

  • A multilingual environment and education: our international teams familiarize children with 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 quality meals with fresh produce every day.
