Why Montessori
A school where your child comes first
Imagine a school where your child is respected and listened to. That is why we offer an educational programme for ages 0 to 3 based on Montessori pedagogy, where children learn with enthusiasm to become:
- Independent
- Autonomous
- Empathetic
- Supportive
- Able to solve conflicts
- Happy in what they do
“Education as an aid to life”
The child, the prepared environment and the role of the educator are the pillars of our project. We welcome children from 4 months to 3 years old and teach in both Spanish and English, with Spanish as the main language.

Testimonials
What families say
I would like to thank you for such important work. I entrusted you with the most precious thing in my life, my three children. The time we spent at Montessori was wonderful.
An excellent nursery school in Alicante. We are delighted to have chosen Montessori for our little girls. Great connection between child, school and family. You are a wonderful team!
The best decision I ever made was enrolling my son Mario. The way they see and teach children is on another level. They are very close to parents and the food is delicious. 100% recommended!
An innovative centre, an active methodology and resources for a 21st-century school.
