Montessori Kindergarten & Pre-School
Independence, in a prepared environment
These are the years when children want to do it themselves. The Montessori environment is set up so they can: materials at child height, work they can choose, and educators who guide rather than instruct. Our own phrase for it is the classic one — help me do it by myself.
If you are looking for a kindergarten, this is the programme you mean. Families from the US, Germany and much of Europe call these years kindergarten; in the UK and Australia they are usually called pre-school. Here it is the same group, the same room and the same educators.

Inside Montessori Pre-School
Montessori work cycles
Children choose their work and stay with it. Educators observe interests and offer the next material at the right moment.
English-based, with Indonesian
The day runs in English. Indonesian language classes are part of the weekly programme, so children can speak with the island around them.
Emotional intelligence as a subject
Naming feelings, taking turns, resolving conflict and understanding boundaries are taught, not left to chance.
Cooking and healthy eating
Children take part in cooking lessons and learn the principles behind what is on their plate.
Creative expression every week
Dance, drawing and music are part of the programme, alongside interactive reading sessions.
Outdoors on natural ground
The playground is stone, grass, sand and wood. The senior group works on balance and coordination.
Classes for ages 2–6
