About this preschool

Montessori Hills Academy follows the Montessori Method with mixed-age classrooms (2.5-6 years) where children are guided by teachers at their own developmental pace. The school emphasizes bilingual education, child-led learning, and the development of each child's individual identity and potential.

Philosophy
Based on the Montessori Method, the classroom is a space to encourage autonomy with a child-led atmosphere where the teacher acts as a guide. The school follows Dr. Montessori's 'planes of development' and provides didactic materials specialized for each child's developmental level, allowing students to progress at their own pace and in areas suited to their individual interests and abilities.
