Field and Study Montessori Pre-School and Playgroup

Amazing school! You can’t find a better school than this for your little ones.The teachers are so amazing! They really ensure that the children are in an environment that encourages them to grow and develop to their full potential!The classrooms are well equipped and the playground with bunnies is just the icing on the cake!The term is so well planned. They have something special almost every Friday -from teaching them to plant seeds, nature walks, picnics and concerts! We look forward to what each week will hold and my daughter loves attending school!My congratulations to the team for running such a wonderful establishment!

Best ever

Jenna has had a wonderful few fun years.Teacher Julia and Gabby are fabulous, and Jenna will miss them next year when she moves on to her big school.Definitely a five start experience, there's a lot of wide open spaces and the kids do nature walks and visit animals regularly as well as complete their necessary academics.Perfect balance for little ones.

We fell in love with the school environment (paradise for the kids, amazing park with lots of bunnies, nice Montessori learning toys…).The teachers are amazing, very dedicated to the children and very well organized.As parents, we are aware of what they are doing on a weekly basis, and we can see some pictures on the school application. There are a lot of funny learning activities. My son has made huge progress in few months. I couldn’t expect him to improve that much.I want to congratulate the teachers. I recommend this preschool.

Julia created such a warm and loving environment in which our son thrived. We wish we had sent him there sooner.

How lucky we were to discover this incredibly special little school. From the day we walked in, we knew our daughter would be so happy. Teacher Julia and Teacher Gabby are super stars - bringing so much passion and contagious energy to school each day. This combined with their love for the children shines through and our daughter absolutely loves going to school. From weekly nature walks in the beautiful park to cracking frozen dinosaur eggs and other exciting ways to learn, the Field and Study Montessori pre-school is a real gem that will enrich your child’s zest for learning and wonder at their surroundings.

We have LOVED our time at Field and Study Montessori over the past three years. Our little girl thrived under the guidance of the amazing teachers, Julia and Gabby. We will miss them terribly and look forward to sending our baby once she is old enough to attend the little school.

When my daughter turned three , we compared different Montessoris and the first one we went was a renown one near our house. It was decent, well structured and planned out , but not a good fit for my daughter.She was so excited about going to school the first day we went, then the excitement just went downhill from there, till a couple weeks later, she was becoming afraid to go to school. This was when I felt something was not right, and decided to hunt for a new one.We went to visit 2-3 more preschools near our house, including Crawford’s. Crawford’s school ground was very nice, and the students were well mannered. While we were greeted by the class in unison, “good morning visitor” ,standing at the entrance, my daughter again was clinging onto my laps, crying she didn’t want to go to school. I knew she was really afraid, but I didn’t know what to say to make her feel better, because education was necessary.At the end of the school tour, the principal told us that there was currently no space so we asked for recommendations in the area. She took out an education magazine and circled a few schools, and Field and Montessori was one of them.Immediately after the school tour, we went to Field and Montessori because it was nearby. When we got to the park, we were astonished by its natural surrounding. We literally felt like it was a magical forest in the middle of the city. And bunnies! Yes bunnies, hundreds of them roamed freely in the park!We didn’t make an appointment, and when we stood outside the gate, waving towards inside, hoping someone would see us, we heard loud laughters, from both kids and teachers. “They must be playing a fun game” I thought.Luckily Julia saw us, and let us in. The older children approached us individually to say hi . They were very friendly and also curious. It was a very different atmosphere than most schools, much more alive, I would say. You can feel it immediately walking in.While I was chatting with Julia, the same daughter who was clinging onto me 20mins ago, went disappeared with other kids in the playground. Julia was kind enough to let her participate in the circle time during our visit, and my daughter fitted herself right in. She was very shy at the time, but when Julia asked what her name was, she replied !!!I decided on the spot, “ this is the one “.( I am unusually very indecisive)I didn’t even bother to check with the other 2-3 recommended schools.When we were about to leave, my daughter again disappeared. The helper told us that she was using the toilet. I was speechless, because she was still using nappy and refusing to take it down at home to go to toilet. ( after story: she didn’t need her nappy anymore after first day of school )She was like a new person. It was truly magical just like Maria Montessori said “ When children come into contact with nature they reveal their strength”My daughter is now 6 and had graduated from Julia’s school last year. She is going to grade 1 at a big school, confident and happy .We are so blessed to have found Field and Montessori. It was the best start we could give her.Thank you Julia and Gabby !

Dear Julia & Gabby,Thank you for the amazing contribution you have made to my kids’ development. In the combined 7 years I had my kids with you, there has not been a single day I felt uncomfortable leaving them in your loving care.Field and Study is the best choice we made for them and will make that choice over and over again. THANK YOU!
