The Centre has a baby´s room, and 4 other classrooms for the older children. The teachers are locally trained women from the community, who are known as “Aunties” reflecting the family-like atmosphere of this special place. There is also a kitchen and a large garden with play equipment.

The Montessori Method

The Montessori method is a rights based technique characterised by a child`s right to develop and direct his or her own learning and process of growing up. The “Aunties” are always present in the classroom, but after introducing the child to materials they assume the role of an observer, allowing the child to investigate, discover, and learn independently. The children learn at their own pace, in a peaceful and respectful classroom environment.

The combination of the national curriculum and Montessori method stimulates the children's five senses and provides opportunities for early development. According to the head teachers of local schools that later receive the children "they are independent thinkers and sociable - and this enhances their school performance".
