Six Reasons Why Your Child Will Flourish
Our children flourish not only in an intellectual sense but also socially, physically and emotionally.
Focus on Independence
Montessori education places a strong emphasis on nurturing independence and self-reliance in children. Through practical life exercises (like pouring water or buttoning clothes) and self-directed learning, children learn essential life skills and develop confidence in their abilities.
Diverse Proven Curriculum
Montessori schools prioritise the individual needs and interests of each child. With a curriculum that allows children to choose their activities and work at their own pace, your child can develop a sense of independence and intrinsic motivation for learning.
Mixed Age Classrooms
Montessori classrooms typically have mixed-age groupings, allowing younger children to learn from older peers and older children to reinforce their knowledge by teaching younger ones. This dynamic fosters collaboration, empathy, and a sense of community among children.
Outdoor Play & Exploration
Spending time outdoors allows children to develop a deeper connection to the natural world. By exploring outdoor environments, children learn to respect and care for the Earth, leading to a greater sense of environmental responsibility as they grow older.
Concrete Learning Materials
Montessori classrooms are filled with specially designed materials that encourage hands-on exploration and discovery. Through activities like pouring, sorting, and manipulating objects, children develop their fine motor skills and gain a deeper understanding of concepts through direct experience.
Holisitc Development
Montessori education values the holistic development of children, encompassing not only academic skills but also social, emotional, and physical growth. Teachers in Montessori schools observe and support each child's development across these domains, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
The unique qualities of each child inspire our work
We believe that ideas change lives. That is why the Dundrum Montessori method encourages creativity. Our goal is to enable every child to flourish on their own terms: to shape his own destiny, to achieve her own greatness, and to create a strong foundation for a life of purpose and fulfillment.
Our Parents' Stories
See what our parents have to say about our school
Dundrum Montessori is a wonderful school with willingness, professionalism, and dedication apparent in every staff member. I feel privileged to have had Bobby attend for the past two years and am grateful to Dundrum Montessori for providing such a high-quality early learning environment in which he has thrived. Bobby especially loved circle time, going to the 'big garden' and his teachers to whom I extend a heartfelt thank you for preparing him so well for big school.
Our two youngest boys now 8 years and 6 years look forward to the three days they attend there each week while I work outside the home. As a family we have always considered our boys to be safe and well minded there. They are helped with their homework as required and it is generally completed to a high standard. My youngest son’s reading is gone through before he reads for us at home. It takes huge pressure off when the homework has been completed early in the afternoon while they are not too tired. They are both fussy eaters and Dundrum Montessori have often accommodated their tastes to provide healthy option foods - so they don’t ever finish their time there hungry. I would highly recommend this after school child care service.
Annelise had a fantastic year! She ran into Dundrum every morning; she couldn't get in quick enough. At home she would recount her day from her interactions with Ms Ainhoa & Ms Marie to her stories with her classmates and all their daily adventures! We would like to thank you once again for your efforts and enthusiasm and for the time you spent with Annelise. All the best for the summer and for the next year.
