A little bit about the Montessori Philosophy
During the early 1900’s Maria Montessori (1870-1952) developed a new teaching method for the children of Rome. In Schools known as the Casa Dei Bambini (The Children’s House) she successfully applied her teaching philosophy that has since become a worldwide phenomenon in terms of teaching young children.

Maria’s philosophy was to provide an environment in which children were freely allow to follow their own developmental needs, using specially prepared apparatus within a carefully prepared environment. Thereby the children could acquire self-discipline, self-confidence, and an ability to concentrate and a natural joy for learning, which comes from within every child.



Lillianna’s offers a unique environment coupled with the Montessori philosophy to create the best possible facilities for your child.

The children are all unique here and have the opportunity for self-development through our trained staff and a beautiful prepared environment, guiding, nurturing and facilitating education. This is very much the cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy.

Learning here is a natural process and by allowing the children to be free and to nurture their hunger to develop their intelligence, they are allowed to explore their own impressions of the world. We offer simple boundaries and ground rules to offer support to their development of self-discipline. We are very sensitive towards each child and encourage its confidence and self-esteem.

Lillianna’s is a true children’s house, not only does it provide a secure loving and educational environment away from home, but everything is adapted for little people, so they can use and enjoy their environment daily whatever their age.

When a child finally leaves us they are educationally, emotionally, physically and spiritually ready within themselves to move on to the challenges of ‘big school’.
