Montessori for Children with Special Needs

  • *Hands-on learning*: Montessori materials and activities are designed to engage children's senses and promote tactile learning.
  • *Inclusive environment*: Our Montessori lab is designed to be inclusive and welcoming, promoting socialization and community building among children of all abilities.
