Deciding upon your child’s education is an important part of being a parent. Your decision as a parent could set your child on the path to success. And the path to a successful future starts young, when your young one is still an infant.

Selecting the right pre-school can definitely be a daunting process, but it is better if you have an idea on some of the pre-schools. Like The children’s house, a reputable pre-school using the Montessori Method of education.

Below are seven things you should know about The children’s house pre-school in Malaysia.

1. The children’s house..How it all Started

The children’s house was founded in 1986 by Nan Civel, the first educator to introduce the complete Montessori Method of early childhood education in Malaysia. Nan was inspired by a visionary Italian doctor, Dr. Maria Montessori, which led her to embark on a three-year course of study and work programme in the Maria Montessori Training Organisation in England, in 1983. She also gained many hours of teaching experience in three different Montessori schools in London upon completion of her Diploma in Montessori Education.

With much confidence and motivation, Nan returned to Malaysia to set-up The children’s house in Damansara Heights, introducing the Montessori philosophy in its entirety.

3. The Unique Montessori Approach

Montessori respects each child as individuals and recognizes them as being different from adults. In a prepared environment, children are given the freedom to choose from a range of carefully planned activities and materials, thus encouraging development at his/her own pace. Children develop a deep love and a need of purposeful work and are motivated for the sake of the activity itself.
