We encourage each child to develop as a whole person and acquire a life long love of learning.
Montessori children have a broad world-view nurtured by lessons of other cultures, customs and belief systems.
At Little Star we consciously teach our children to be kind, peaceful and respectful to each other, which extends to family, community and the earth.
