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 school has three classrooms :
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.
