Why Gardenya
We are an international Montessori kindergarten and preschool located in Gaziosmanpaşa, Ankara. Our educational system is based on Maria Montessori’s philosophy of child development.
The child itself and its very individual development stand in our focus. Montessori believed that the child develops all necessary skills on its own through its curiosity. It only needs an inspiring and loving environment. The teacher supports and guides the child on its individual path. Ourschool provides this very unique environment for your child.
- An environment that serves the particular needs of each child’s stage of development.
- An adult who understands child development and acts as a guide to help children find their own natural path.
- Freedom for children to engage in their own development according to their own particular developmental timeline.
