Welcome to Play Studio Montessori

At Play Studio Montessori, we believe every child is born with an incredible capacity to learn, explore, and grow when given the right environment. Our montessori nurseries provide calm, beautifully prepared spaces where children develop independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, our approach values hands-on exploration, respect for each child’s pace, and purposeful activity that nurtures curiosity and concentration. We see learning not as a race, but as a journey; one that unfolds naturally through discovery, care, and joy.

As educators and parents working together, we create a community where children feel seen, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential. Whether your child is taking their first steps in our Nido room or preparing for new challenges in the Children’s House, you’ll find a place where they are encouraged to flourish in every way.

Welcome to a space where childhood is cherished and learning is a joyful adventure.

Our values

Our four core values, Freedom, Curiosity, Kindness, and Ubuntu, guide everything we do. Rooted in Montessori philosophy, they inspire independence, wonder, and compassion, nurturing confident, caring learners who flourish through connection, purpose, and joyful discovery.

Our Montessori Environments

In our Montessori Nursery, our environments are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of each stage of early childhood. Every space is calm, purposeful, and created to nurture independence, confidence, and joy in learning.

Our curriculum

At Play Studio Montessori, we nurture independence, curiosity, and a love of learning across two communities, Nido (3 months–2.5 years) and Children’s House (2.5–5 years). Through our hands-on Montessori nursery curriculum, children explore Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Cultural Studies, progressing at their own pace while developing confidence and joy in learning.
