Regular updates and communication with parents ensure a seamless learning experience at school and home. Through home visits, our team provides guidance on setting up a Montessori-inspired play area at home, ensuring a structured and engaging environment for your child.

Why Choose Us

At Little Florets' Montessori, we offer a warm and welcoming environment where your child can grow, learn, and thrive. Our Montessori approach helps your child become confident, independent, and excited about learning, all while developing important life skills.

Awakening Senses through Sensorial

Our Sensorial activities are thoughtfully designed to help children refine their senses and deepen their understanding of the world. By engaging with hands-on materials that isolate individual sensory experiences—such as sound cylinders, color tablets, and geometric solids—children enhance their focus, coordination, and establish a solid foundation for future learning

Language and Writing

We teach language through fun phonics activities that help your child learn to read and write with ease. We also introduce cursive writing early, which helps them build strong handwriting skills. In addition, we offer Tamil and Hindi, giving your child the chance to learn new languages.

Mathematics

Mathematics isn’t about memorizing—it’s about understanding! Using hands-on materials, your child will explore numbers and learn math in a practical way. This fosters a love for learning, ensures a strong foundational understanding, and encourages critical thinking. Rather than memorizing, children learn the "why" behind math, leading to lasting comprehension and success.

Explore the World: Geography and Science

Children explore the explore the physical world, learning about continents, countries, cultures, and the environment. This approach helps them develop a sense of global awareness and understand the interconnections between people and the earth. Children observe nature, conduct simple experiments, and study living things, fostering a deep appreciation for the natural world and promoting critical thinking.

Independence Through Practical Life

We believe in teaching kids real-life skills that help them become independent. Activities like pouring, cutting, folding clothes and caring for themselves and their environment promote a sense of accomplishment and confidence, as children learn to complete meaningful, everyday tasks. Children practice using real tools and materials, which helps them build fine motor skills, concentration, and responsibility.

Unique Cook and Eat Program

Our Cook and Eat Program is a fun way for children to learn about healthy food, nutrition, and teamwork. They’ll get to cook simple meals and discover new dishes, all while developing life skills they’ll carry with them forever.

Social and Emotional Growth

Your child will learn to express their feelings, make friends, and work well with others. We focus on developing their emotional intelligence so they grow up kind, respectful, and ready to handle the challenges of life.

At Little Florets' Montessori, we’re not just teaching academics—we’re raising confident, compassionate, and independent children who are excited to learn and explore.

To Enroll your little floret today and watch them blossom

Little florets has really satisfied my expectations and need for the best montessori school in this area. Steffy's response to all your questions and doubts literally increased my trust in her. She is highly approachable and responsible. And the staffs too. Feels very much like your child is in a safe and happy environment. The school has really set a bench mark in my mind that I am unable to find a match for it while I am searching a new school in another city for my kid now.

-Ms. Dhivya

My son is in the toddler environment and it's really nice to see his progress.. the environment is very friendly, the teachers ("chithi" as they're fondly addressed), support staff are extremely empathetic. I have recommended this place for my peers too.

I consider myself so fortunate to have found this place for my daughter . She did not settle in one of the very very esteemed school in Chennai . We came seeking admission in Little Florets at a time when my daughter had extreme school phobia owing to a bad experience in the previous school. The teachers understood her and made every attempt to make her feel comfortable, gave her time to settle down and today she's very happy to go to school . This is a place where Montessori is practiced as a way of life and not just a curriculum. Ms Steffie is extremely kind, compassionate and dedicated. A place that can be trusted !
