The school

The Secret of Childhood Montessori School opened on 9  January 2017. The school accepts new enrolments any time of the year as long as there are places available. We now accepts enrolments for the spring of 2023 and the 2023-2024 school year.  Please send an email to contact@secretofchildhood.ch for more information.

The Montessori Method embraces the universal needs of children in a “whole child” approach to education; physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth. 
Montessori education embraces cultural diversity in multi-age classrooms. The School is open to everyone, and is non-political, non-religious and is independent of any ideologies.
​
The school is a dynamic Montessori learning environment which offers morning and full-day programs throughout the year. There is also an option for care after regular school hours (4 PM to 6:30 PM) five days per week.
​
Our caterer provides a 3-course lunch at noon. The food has the label "Fourchette Verte", which is a guarantee for a balanced and healthy diet. Below is an example of a weekly menu.

The team
Our team consists of  French-speaking and English-speaking teachers with diplomas from the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and with many years of teaching experience in a Montessori environment. In the both classrooms, we also have assistants.
The classrooms
Our classrooms are spacious (100 sq m and 180 sq m, respectively), bright and well equipped with Montessori materials. One classroom can accommodate up to 25 children and the other up to 35 children, both in the age group from 3 to 6 years old. Our classrooms offer a child-centred environment. Our teachers guide the students and respect each child’s right to work toward intrinsic reward through honouring freedom of choice and movement, self discovery and self discipline. Click here to see photos of the classrooms.
