in Onex (Geneva)

OPEN HOUSE
SATURDAYS 18TH JANUARY AND 15TH FEBRUARY 2025
9:00 AM - 12:00 noon

Welcome to Little Birds,

Our school is nestled in the tranquil and picturesque surroundings of the municipality of Onex (Geneva), offering children a serene setting that inspires both learning and exploration. Surrounded by a large park, a well-equipped playground, lush forests, and a gentle river nearby, our environment naturally complements the Montessori philosophy, where a deep connection to nature is integral to a child’s growth and development.

Guided by this harmonious bond with the natural world, we embrace a humanistic and holistic approach to education. Our classrooms are thoughtfully prepared to nurture the body, mind, and spirit, creating an atmosphere of peace and purpose.

In small, carefully balanced groups, we provide a space where children are free to explore their innate curiosity, develop independence, and cultivate practical skills. This nurturing environment respects the individuality of each child while celebrating their unique qualities, empowering them to blossom with confidence and joy.

At Montessori Little Birds, we devote all our energy to these three crucial years, recognized as essential in a child’s development.

I am very happy that my two daughters had the opportunity to attend Montessori Preschool Little Birds for more than a year before our family moved back to Portugal for good. I thank Kimiyo and Alexandra very much for the positive impact they had on their education and development during such an important period of their lives.
