Maara House

Maara House Maara House is a progressive and Reggio Emilia inspired Cottage School based in Gardens, Cape Town Relationships and the co-construction of knowledge is key.

Maara House is a Reggio Emilia inspired Primary School in Cape Town. The Reggio inspired way of teaching sees the child as rich, resilient and resourceful and always in relationship with his/her environment. The teacher is a patient observer and moderator, with the ability to step back and allow discussion and discovery. We believe the child is an important resource and simply needs the space to make sense of things through experiential activities. Children develop their own strategies to figure things out and this allows for differences in children to be valued. Children begin to understand that what we can figure out together is different to what we can figure out alone. The child is a meaningful contributor to the learning. We provide a holistic and sustainable education that focuses on growing the whole child with creativity, emotional intelligence, resilience, values and academic learning.

In progressive, Reggio-inspired education, learning isn’t about pushing facts onto children. It’s about nurturing their natural curiosity and creating environments where they lead the way. When children pursue knowledge, they become explorers, problem-solvers, and lifelong learners — not just receivers of information. 🌱💡
