BestStart Montessori St Albans, is a home away from home!
At BestStart Montessori St Albans, we offer a unique and enriching learning experience guided by specially trained Montessori teachers.
Our centre focuses on the individual potential of each child, helping them develop strong language and math skills, while nurturing a love of learning, high self-esteem, and social competence. We emphasize independence, self-discipline, and school readiness, with initiatives like school visits to support a smooth transition.
Located in a beautifully refurbished St Albans villa, our centre feels like home, creating a warm and inviting environment where children’s capabilities are respected and encouraged. Our highly qualified teaching team delivers a full, authentic Montessori programme, ensuring each child has access to abundant opportunities for growth. Open communication between families, teachers, and children is a cornerstone of our approach, fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. We are proud of our outstanding Education Review Office (ERO) report, where we received the highest grade, a reflection of our commitment to providing the best possible early childhood education.
Montessori Method
“Learning how to learn is a preparation for life” – Maria Montessori recognized that children have a natural willingness to explore and that the best motivation for learning is self-motivation.
Montessori education comes from observing children during their moments of development. Through observation, we allow children to show us where they need most support, allowing us to support their individual needs and interests. The environment is prepared to give the child autonomy and to help the child discover, concentrate and develop holistically. As part of our philosophy, we create a calm, peaceful environment to foster children's confidence and concentration.
