3 – 18 months
Little Royals
Learn through love & play
Our babies, from 3 to 18 months, learn through love and play. Everything in their room is designed for safety and engagement, so they can thrive in the first and most significant period of their development. Through Montessori activities in a calm, beautiful setting, babies develop motor skills and begin to understand cause and effect, in a safe space where independence can grow.
While your baby makes new discoveries, we'll also share:
- How to observe your child's development
- How to set up a Montessori-friendly home environment
- How to support independence, attention and motor skills in these crucial months
- Motor skills
- Sensory play
- Parent guidance
18 months – 3 years
Rising Royals
Growing confident minds
Our toddlers, from 18 months to 3 years, grow confident minds. Songs, books and Montessori materials develop and enrich their growing language, and our guides create a comfortable atmosphere where every child feels secure enough to explore boldly.
Children this age learn through their senses, so the room is full of sensory materials, practical-life work, sorting and classifying, movement, art and music. The day opens and closes with circle time, and little hands work with real tools and create their first artworks.

- Practical life
- Art & music
3 – 6 years
Future Royals
Leading the future
Our preschool, from 3 to 6 years, runs from Grade RRR through Grade RR to Grade R, so children can stay with us right up to big school. A sense of belonging is at the heart of every child's success: children master their environment, work independently, collaborate in small groups and come together as a class.
Each child has an individual learning plan. Guides track every new material and concept and use their observations to plan the next step, building confidence, coordination, focus and school readiness.
