Our supportive atmosphere helps children prepare for Montessori Primary programs and other educational settings. In this environment, children can explore their interests and engage with their natural curiosity outside the home. We also focus on developing their social and emotional skills. We want all families to feel comfortable and confident sending their children to our community. Our guides are dedicated to assisting new parents during this transition and supporting the entire family as a whole. Our goal is for families to feel that this Montessori community is an extended family for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79bf4134c4e2326977941f/1629883063577-UADKZIU1ZULWRQJ1EWMO/2dcef07c571c583d56b8d7a05083c06f46cb4a04.original.jpeg About Us - The Community Our small Montessori community is carefully prepared and designed to foster curiosity, independence, and self-exploration in young children. In this nurturing and loving environment, children naturally develop confidence and thrive as they learn essential life skills through collaboration with their peers and guides. Our community is also diverse and international, embracing the beauty of different cultures and unique perspectives. We encourage parents to share their customs, ceremonies, and culinary traditions. As a result, children are exposed to a rich tapestry of multicultural experiences within our community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79bf4134c4e2326977941f/1629871466088-9KLJ5WBIMLJEIOB3OTIR/image.jpg About Us - THe Children We believe that children are more capable than we often realize when we provide them with guidance and allow them to face challenges. In a carefully prepared environment, children feel safe to explore their potential and are encouraged to challenge themselves repeatedly until they achieve satisfaction. Older children naturally take on the role of mentors for younger children, while the younger children learn from their older peers. This dynamic creates an opportunity for everyone to be both a mentor and a student within the community. This natural learning cycle thrives in a mixed-age Montessori environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79bf4134c4e2326977941f/1629930002319-MOQH1PAWEB8KZQY1TQPT/90acbf5854fa588d85738835e7059b20170bb011.original.jpeg About Us - The Peace Peace education holds a significant role in Montessori philosophy, and we believe that this small community represents our future. As the guides demonstrate how to be harmonious members of our community, the children naturally learn to become peaceful citizens who nurture the community with love and kindness. Our goal is to teach the children how to cultivate peace and harmony within themselves, enabling them to share that love and kindness with others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79bf4134c4e2326977941f/1629874334993-P5641USI4Q992IZ8X7L7/DSC02060.JPG About Us - The Guide Miho Namba Alvarenga is a Montessori guide, as well as a mother, daughter, and wife.

Our home environment prepares the children to transfer to Montessori Primary programs and any other schools. In this environment, the children can fully discover their interests and engage with their curiosity outside their homes. We also support and help develop the children’s social and emotional skills. We want all the family to feel comfortable and confident to send the child to our community. The guides will help the new parents to transit and support the whole family integrally. Our goal is that the families feel this Montessori community is their extended family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79bf4134c4e2326977941f/1629883063577-UADKZIU1ZULWRQJ1EWMO/2dcef07c571c583d56b8d7a05083c06f46cb4a04.original.jpeg About us (Copy) - The Community This tiny community is prepared and designed for the little ones to be curious, self-exploratory, and confident. In this little nurturing and loving Montessori community, the children naturally become independent and thrive on learning life skills by collaborating with other children and the guides. Our community is diverse and international. We welcome all the beauty of this world’s uniqueness. We invite the parents to present their cultures, customs, ceremonies, and food. The children will experience multiple cultural exposures in our multi-cultural community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79bf4134c4e2326977941f/1629871466088-9KLJ5WBIMLJEIOB3OTIR/image.jpg About us (Copy) - THe Children We believe that children are much more capable than we think if we show them how to do it and allow them to challenge. In the prepared environment, the children are safe to try and seek their own potentials and feel safe to challenge numerous times until they are satisfied. The older children naturally look after the younger ones, and the younger learn from the older ones. Everyone is given an opportunity to become a mentor and a student in this community. This natural learning cycle only happens in a mixed-aged Montessori environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79bf4134c4e2326977941f/1629930002319-MOQH1PAWEB8KZQY1TQPT/90acbf5854fa588d85738835e7059b20170bb011.original.jpeg About us (Copy) - The Peace Peace education lies in a strong place in Montessori philosophy, and we believe that this little community is our future. As the guides model how to be a harmonious being in our community, the children naturally become peaceful citizens who can maintain the community with love and kindness. Our focus is to show the children how to live with peace and harmony within themselves so that they can return the love and kindness to others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79bf4134c4e2326977941f/1629874334993-P5641USI4Q992IZ8X7L7/DSC02060.JPG About us (Copy) - The Guide The Montessori guide, Miho Namba, is a mother, daughter, and wife.
