From our very inception we have always believed in Maria Montessori’s philosophy of engaging children in sustained and productive work as one of the best ways for them to learn. It may come as a surprise to some but play is a child’s work. And while our schools may look fun with all the toys, books, puzzles, and various activities, everything has a purpose meant to capture our children’s imagination and engage their intellect. The freedom to pursue their individual interests gives the children the ability to learn at their own pace and develop their confidence. This is where our teachers come in by providing the structured environment most conducive for the children to learn not only with each other but also how to behave.

Smallville Montessori was established in 2010 by Teacher Leni Sanchez, a graduate of the London Montessori Centre and certified early childhood psychologist, who firmly believes in using a purely Montessori method of teaching. That is why our schools are equipped with a child-friendly kitchen, furniture, and didactic Montessori materials. Our teachers, who have been trained to meet international Montessori standards, are also very uncompromising because of their passion for teaching and, most importantly, the children. Since 2013, the school has grown along with its first batch of students and now includes an elementary department, and 2018 marks an important milestone for us as we have just opened our second preschool.
