We apply proven Montessori educational principles

  • Language

    Stories, songs, conversation and early letters, so children find the words to share what they think and feel.

  • Sensorial

    Materials that invite children to look, touch, listen, compare and sort, sharpening how they notice the world.

  • Practical Life

    Real tasks like pouring, watering plants and tidying up, which build independence, focus and confidence.

  • Math

    Hands-on materials for counting, sorting and patterns, laying a solid foundation for numbers.

  • Culture

    Maps, music, food and stories from around the world, so children grow curious about people and places beyond their own.

and enrich them with unique curriculum and educational opportunities

  • Music

    Children will explore rhythm, singing, and body awareness through fun activities like clapping games, percussion instruments, and movement songs.

  • Dance

    Structured dance classes introduce basic ballet, hip-hop, and creative movement.

  • French

    Children hear and use French through songs, greetings and everyday routines, so a second language feels natural from the start.

  • Taekwondo

    Taekwondo classes build focus, balance and respect, with plenty of kicks, counting and cheering along the way.

  • STEAM

    We integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math through play, experiments, and problem-solving activities.

  • Life skills

    We see value in teaching practical skills that build confidence and independence, such as tidying up, preparing simple snacks, gardening, and caring for the environment and each other.

Rooted in Montessori. Guided by Purpose.

Our Montessori-inspired approach recognizes that every child is a capable learner with their own interests, strengths and developmental journey.

We create opportunities for children to explore, practise, discover and develop independence within a thoughtfully prepared environment.

Through practical life activities, sensorial exploration, language development and purposeful learning experiences, children build the skills and confidence to engage with the world around them.

But our vision extends beyond academic and practical skills.

We want children to develop the character that will guide how they use their knowledge, treat others and contribute to their communities.

A Strong Foundation for our future community leaders

At The Stars, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, connected and respected. Our Montessori-inspired approach encourages children to explore their environment, practise new skills, develop independence and learn through meaningful experiences.

We focus on the whole child, supporting cognitive, physical, social, emotional and practical life development while helping children build the character and confidence to navigate the world around them.

Our values

  • Kindness

    Showing care and consideration for others.

  • Respect

    Valuing ourselves, others and our shared environment.

  • Integrity

    Making thoughtful choices and doing what is right.

  • Self-Control

    Learning to manage feelings, actions and responses with support.

  • Gratitude

    Recognizing and appreciating the people and experiences around us.

Deep Roots, Shaping Tomorrow’s Citizens.

Why we’re called The Stars

We chose the name The Stars because we see every child as a light in the world. Just as stars shine brightly in the night sky, our goal is to help children discover their inner brilliance and carry it confidently into the future.

Tap the stars. They like to jump.
