Welcome to iExplorers Montessori Early Education Academy — our Beacon Hill
location. This is where authentic Montessori education takes root, in a calm,
prepared, and nurturing environment designed for children aged 19 months to 6
years.
Our Beacon Hill programme follows the time-honoured Montessori method —
child-centred, hands-on, and deeply respectful of each child's individual pace and
journey. Through carefully prepared environments, mixed-age classrooms, and a
warm sense of community, we give every child the foundation they need to grow
into a confident, curious, and compassionate learner.
We are always happy to provide further support. Please contact us via:
iExplorers Montessori supports the natural development of children as first-hand
explorers, empowering them to transform our society, leading to a more pleasant
and peaceful world.
“The senses, being the world’s explorers, open the way to knowledge.” — Maria
Montessori
iExplorers Montessori will preserve the legacy of Maria Montessori’s principles
and practice by advocating for the rights of children and adults to access safe,
nurturing, and enriching educational environments. iExplorers ensures each child
strives and develops intellectually, emotionally, and socially as a global citizen.
Our Toddler Programme is a gentle, joyful introduction to the Montessori world. We know that transitions can feel big for little ones — and for their families. That is why our educators work quickly and thoughtfully to build a warm, trusting relationship with every new toddler, ensuring each child feels safe, loved, and well cared for from their very first day. Toddlers are introduced to the programme gradually, at a pace that suits them. Through rich, supported interactions with their prepared environment, they begin to explore, discover, and develop the foundational skills that will carry them forward. › Morning Session: 9:30am – 11:30am › Afternoon Session: 1:30pm – 3:30pm
In our Preschool and Kindergarten programme, children are given the time, space, and freedom to explore their environment, refine their skills, and continue discovering new ones — guided by educators who observe, support, and inspire. › Morning Session: 8:30am – 11:30am › Afternoon Session: 12:30pm – 3:30pm › Children attending school district Kindergarten welcome in AM or PM sessions
Our Preschool and Kindergarten room brings together children aged 3 to 6 in a genuine learning community. Older children grow into leaders — modelling skills and setting an inspiring example. Younger children gain confidence through observation and belonging.
Learning continues through summer at Beacon Hill — themed activities, outdoor exploration, and Montessori-inspired learning in a relaxed, joyful environment.
At iExplorers Montessori, our full-day programs are thoughtfully structured to support children’s natural rhythms, independence, and engagement. We offer flexible scheduling within a consistent daily routine for children aged 19 months to 6 years.
