About Kew Montessori

Welcome to Kew Montessori.  For over 35 years we are delighted to have served the families of Kew providing the best quality Montessori nursery for children from the age of  2 years 9 months until they start school.

We aim for our children to be independent and confident and show this through their enhanced social skills and their care and respect of themselves, their friends and teachers, parents and their school.

We hope you will enjoy exploring our website and will come and visit us one day if you wish your child to be considered for a place with us.

Kew Montessori

What we believe

We believe that children's early education should be a preparation for life. This should be an holistic approach that integrates mind , body and spirit to achieve a truly social school community in which personal relationships and skills are given the highest priority.

We are passionate about Montessori education. We provide an environment in which children develop on an individual basis guided from within by their natural curiosity and by the careful guidance of our experienced Montessori teachers. This nurturing environment fosters self-discipline, self-confidence and an ability to concentrate. Our experience shows that this type of education provides children with a true joy in learning.  We see the early years as a preparation for life and a foundation on which everything that follows is built.  'Who' a child is, we feel, is more important than 'what' a child achieves in the form of goals during this time.

"Who a child is, is more important than what a child can do."
Maria Montessori
