Montessori Kidz Studio


Kidz Studio’s Mission is to stimulate and improve children’s knowledge and understanding, involvement, visions and creative thinking - and expose them to positive experiences. This is to grow self-confidence, high self-esteem, interpersonal skills, articulate abilities, critical sense, openness, tolerance and respect for others.

Observing to understand, plan and progress
Kidz Studio observes the children as an integral part of each day’s experience to be able to follow and understand the child in order to plan appropriately for the child’s development and ensure continuity and progression. Careful, purposeful observation significantly improves the ability to give the right lesson, to respond appropriately and to understand the child on a more meaningful level, and thus be better educators.

Knowledge of and respect for cultural and social similarities and differences
Kidz Studio respects individual differences and the cultural and social backgrounds of the children, discouraging any form of discrimination, whether racial, cultural, religious or gender, because it is detrimental to the overall development of children. Children develop an anti-discriminatory and anti-racist approach.

Organising the environment
Besides planning the learning experiences of the children, Kidz Studio has prepared an environment in which children feel safe and secure and yet challenge them in an appropriate manner.

Kidz Studio has created a garden environment with challenging and appealing play structures with a mini zoo and room for gardening and exploration of nature. Kidz Studio encourages children to have close contact with nature and outdoor life, because experiences have proved that:

• The children have fewer conflicts
• They function better as a group
• Their ability to acquire and assess knowledge is strengthened
• Their ability to distinguish between living and dead is strengthened, as well as understanding the concept of living in and with the nature
• Their ability to concentrate improves
• Their gross and fine motor skills are strengthened
• They become more creative in their play and overall in terms of academic performance and development of solutions and ideas, which determine future success


Sound knowledge of child development and educational theory

As new research becomes available on how young children develop, Kidz Studio modify approaches to teaching to accommodate new practices because they believe that understanding children and their needs are at the heart of all early years teaching.
