Karibu! Welcome to our Children's House

Little hands, big discoveries.

We're a small, joyful Montessori kindergarten in Lavington, Nairobi, where children aged 1½ to 6 learn by doing, at their own pace.

“Following the child's curiosity” has been our motto since 2011

Why families love it here

A school that feels like home

Because it is one: a real children's house, the way Maria Montessori imagined it.

Real Montessori, done properly

Genuine materials, trained guides, and the freedom to choose your own work. The method as Dr. Montessori meant it, not a watered-down version.

Small classes, big attention

Five to eight children per teacher, depending on age, so nobody is ever just a face in the crowd.

A house, not an institution

Calm rooms, a leafy garden, and a kitchen where fresh meals are cooked every day. Children settle in because it feels like home.

Ready for big school

Our leavers head to primary school reading, writing and counting with confidence, and actually liking it.

Days full of doing

Painting at easels, pouring, buttoning, roller skating, sandpit engineering. Little hands are always busy here.

Our classes

Growing up, one room at a time

Four little classes, one for every stage. Each child moves up when they're ready, not when the calendar says so.

“Following the child's curiosity”

It was our motto on day one in 2011. It still is.
