Little People, Big Potential

Celebrating 20 years of excellence in Montessori education

About Us

Our Story

Established in 2005, Little People Montessori has been providing exceptional early childhood education for 20 years. Located in Glenmore, Durban, our school offers a nurturing "home away from home" environment where children can thrive.

Our Philosophy

We follow the Montessori method developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, which emphasizes self-directed learning, hands-on experiences, and individualized attention. Our approach nurtures the whole child—intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.

Our Promise

At Little People Montessori, we're committed to providing a foundation that prepares children not just for primary school, but for life. Our small class sizes ensure that each child receives the attention they deserve to develop their unique potential.

What Parents Say

"The best Montessori school in Durban, the small classes and hands-on approach is applauding, kids get that individual attention and thrive on the care and love that's given to them. You can never go wrong with Nadja, she puts her heart into everything. Both my kids love her and her calm positive attitude towards everything... I believe the foundation of a child's life is so important, it sets the bar for greater things, and this school has ticked all the boxes. Also not forgetting the swimming lessons are a bonus point... so so happy with this school."
