OUR MISSION
The Mission of Nature House Montessori Daycare in Aruba
It is our mission to provide a high-quality Montessori daycare in Aruba with an environment that enables children to begin their learning journey through life. Our undertaking is to cultivate a life-long love of learning in our children that inspires them to realize their full potential. The children we nurture will grow into confident and knowledgeable learners who are healthy in mind, body, and spirit so they go on to make valuable contributions to the community and wider world. We also aspire to help children connect with nature, as nature enriches the life of each child by supporting physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development.
The Difference We Offer at Nature House Montessori Daycare in Aruba
Low child-teacher ratio: We strive for a maximum of 10 children per caregiver, for the one-year-old we have 2 caregivers in a group of 10 children.
Montessori materials: We include Montessori materials for practical living/independence skills, sensorial exploration, language, math, zoology and geography. We offer a variety of enriched learning opportunities that extend beyond the toys you might already have at home.
Beautifully-appointed environment: Our environment is not the typical overly-stimulating found in too many childcare facilities that are too “busy” with colors, sounds and so on. The Nature House environment is calm and peaceful, carefully designed to minimize distractions and over-stimulation. It is a place where children can concentrate as they easily find, use and replace materials that interest them. Walls are painted in neutral colors and shelves are sparsely populated with materials, not overcrowded with too many toys to choose from. The environment supports learning.
Professional educators: Nature House teachers are carefully chosen based on their education, professionalism and experience. Our qualified team of early childhood educators strive to enhance each child’s natural curiosity and love for learning.
Conscious discipline: We use conscious discipline to develop discipline within children rather than applying discipline to them.
Mindfulness:
We incorporate Yoga and/or meditation into each day’s activities.
Testimonials
Combining nature and play into a wonderful learning experience. it has been a joy to see my little ones develop, explore and learn
Super leuke school waar het kind veel leert, over zichzelf, anderen, natuur etc. Het word uitgedaagd om nieuwe dingen te ontdekken en doen! Maar het belangrijkste van alles misschien wel, de juffen zijn altijd lief en rustig. Een hele fijne plek!
Een geweldige kinderopvang waar je kind kan groeien en bloeien.
Er is veel een-op-een aandacht waardoor er na nog geen 3 dagen nadat onze zoon hier begon, zijn ontwikkeling met enorm grote stappen vooruit ging; van het correct vasthouden van een potlood tot meer geduldig worden/blijven als er mentale/fysieke uitdagingen zijn. . Boven alles heeft hij het enorm naar zijn zin en is juf Sam de liefste, meest geduldige en enthousiaste juf die je als ouders je maar kan wensen.
Daarnaast is de open communicatie, de benadering van alles wat ze doen met de gedachtegang van montessori en de kleinschaligheid, een echte onderscheiding ten opzichte van andere peuterscholen/ kinderopvangen.
