At the Montessori Metaphysic Centre of Light we aim to create a safe and loving space for growth and development. In line with Montessori philosophy, we envision loving and creative beings who are spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically independent and ready to consciously embrace their life’s journey. Through a Montessori and Metaphysical approach we provide children with the tools to continuously develop their skills for life long learning.
Treating all individuals with respect and integrity encouraging the understanding of the interconnectedness of life.

We strictly comply with the Montessori Philosophy, Teaching Principles and use of Montessori equipment. We are not merely Montessori by name. Our qualified teachers provide first aid, aftercare & holiday care.
The prepared environment and the role of the educator in the classroom distinguish Montessori from other educational approaches. It is only in the Montessori classroom where independent activity makes up 80% of the work while educator directed activity is only 20%. The special environments enable the learners to perform various tasks that induce thinking about relationships. The logical, sequential nature of the environment provides orderly structures that guide discovery and offer practical occasions for introducing social relationships through free interaction.
The Montessori Method aims to aid the child’s growth towards independence in two ways: short term it provides freedom and independence in learning, long term it helps the child acquire tools for living, skills and abilities which give a person greater choices in life and make one free from dependence on others.
We are committed to the educational philosophies and approach originated by Dr Maria Montessori:
• We nurture and promote a commitment to society based on democratic values, social justice and fundamental human rights.
• Encourage a learner centered philosophy for the development of each individual.
• Ensure each child develops to his or her full potential academically, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Our school community of mixed age groups encourages our children to work cooperatively within their fundamental three-year cycles in the service of one another, the school and society.
Our Metaphysical approach combined with Montessori philosophy and methodology encourages loving guidance towards excelling to ones individual full potential. Metaphysics is directly translated as ‘beyond the physical’; we have adopted this approach in order to cater for the child holistically. It has been found that most Montessori environments forget about the spiritual aspect of development. As we accept all children from all religions and race we do not enforce religion up on our children, even though we do follow Christian principles we may at times teach children about the different cultures though allow for each family to enforce their own religious beliefs from home. “Preventing conflicts is the work of politics; Establishing Peace is the work of education” Maria Montessori, 1936.
“My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding on that certification from secondary to university, but of individuals passing from one stage of independence to a higher, by means of their own activity, through their own effort of will, which constitutes the inner evolution of the individual.” Maria Montessori, 1948.
