We take play to a higher level for the future of our children.
‘When kids play without expecting rewards, they learn life-skills’ "Play raises the level of creativity as it involves some element of imagination. Academic training should never be an excuse to not let children play as it takes away their opportunity to learn," says professor of psychology Dr Peter Gray.

“Nature provides time for mistakes to be corrected (by both children and adults), for prejudices to be overcome, and for children to catch their breath and restore their image of themselves, peers, parents, teachers, and the world.”

Approach to Education: “In looking at schools for my daughter, I wanted a Kindergarten that was age appropriate and met the needs of early learners.
The idea of her sitting at a desk for 7 hours a day didn’t appeal to me. I loved that Montview had plenty of time for movement and play, and taught the basic skills in an age appropriate, hands-on manner.
I loved that the academic side was interwoven into the play and exploration of the day.
Kids wrote about their creations, practiced math during their play and read books that appealed to them.
I also appreciated the way that Montview helped my daughter establish the rhythm and routine of school rather than forcing it on her from day one.” – Lisa Davis
