“The teacher, when she begins work in our schools, must have a kind of faith that the child will reveal himself through work.”“An ordinary teacher cannot be transformed into a Montessori teacher, but must be created anew, having rid herself of pedagogical prejudices.”

Solid Foundations Montessori School enrolls children between 18 months to 6 years of age and provides a multi-age learning environment. A mixed-age group provides opportunities for peer learning/teaching and fosters social development and responsibility.
Our classroom is designed to encourage children to work at their own pace while using scientifically designed Montessori materials. This enables the child to correct themselves with the help of built-in control of error within each material, allowing the child to explore and perfect their own work.
Children are guided to work with the material until a level of competence is reached. This, in itself, is an evaluation of the child's ability. Each child is taught individually, giving the teachers immediate insight into the child's grasp of every concept taught.
The school will operate from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday. The school will be closed for two weeks during the Christmas break, as well as a week during the summer break.
The school will also be closed on all Statutory and Civic holidays, including Easter Monday.
