A Message From the Director
Dear Parents,
I would like to welcome you and your family to my daycare and Montessori school.
Providing a quality upbringing and education is the hope and wish of every parent. Here at Kidsdom Montessori, my staff and I are able to give you over ten years of experience in teaching using Montessori methods, not only with the pre-schoolers but with the infants as well.
Home-based daycares have a tradition of giving children a warm, loving and nurturing environment that is quite similar to the atmosphere that you would find in your own home. Our advantage is that we also provide the structure that allows your child to flourish at their fullest potential.
Please take a moment to read this website, and I’m sure that you will come to agree that there would be no better place for your child to be.
Sincerely,
Abida Mufti

About our Program
» The Montessori Environment:
The foundation of the Montessori philosophy is based upon the idea that children should work at their own pace, according to their own strengths in surroundings that help to develop their intelligence, as well as social and physical abilities.
A key concept in a Montessori school is the idea that a child is an individual with an acute sensitivity with regards to the environment around them; so much so that much of how and what they learn in their early years comes from this perceptive stimulation.
As a result, the child should have a reasonable amount of freedom to do as they please, while at the same time being wholly immersed in an environment which stimulates their senses as well as exercising their creativity. Literally their classroom is their world, providing exposure to materials and experiences that foster greater intellectual growth.
Observers of Montessori children note that they are confident, caring, independent as well as enthusiastic and motivated learners.
» Daycare:
Our daycare is rooted in the belief that the primary needs of infants and toddlers are love and a great deal of attention. We understand the varying needs of infants, from a sense of security for the young to the establishment of self-identity for older.

- Mobile Infants: 6 to 18 months
- Primary needs: safe and free exploration
- Toddler: 16 to 36 months

At each milestone our program is structured to meet the primary needs of the child. To do this we set weekly goals, monthly goals, lesson plans and evaluations for each child individually.
