Welcome to Little People’s Montessori Pre-School’s website. We are based in Germiston (Dinwiddie/Albemarle border) in Guateng and offer Montessori based education. Our teaching approach is unique emanating from two decades of early childhood developmental schooling. We follow a pragmatic approach to teaching and learning with our approach published in international educational journals. We are not part of a franchise – any school claiming to be linked to us untrue.
Our approach allows the teachers to provide each child with dedicated individual attention. Our groups are small to enable maximum benefit to each child. Our environment is safe and homely. The building was purpose built for a pre-school facility.
We believe that children should be given maximum learning opportunities to provide them with a good foundation for later development. The pre-school going age is just as important (if not more important) than any other developmental age. Owing to this, parents/caregivers/teachers need to maximise the child’s exposure and interaction in educational activities. Our school environment is information-rich both inside and outside the classroom. The classrooms are set up according to Maria Montessori’s method of teaching, divided into specific areas of learning. The areas include: practical life; sensorial, mathematics, language, art, cultural, botany, and zoology.
The school day is structured with many learning activities provided. These activities are presented by qualified educators. The school principal, Annie, has over 22 years teaching experience. Her unique approach rests on Montessori methods, as well as new research based teaching strategies that she has incorporated into the school. We follow a “do what works best” approach, allowing for adaptation, as each child is unique. Our published research into pre-school tuition was a first in South Africa! Our complete teaching and learning philosophy is available for interested parties. We also invite the reader to review our recent study published in an ISI listed international journal depicting our successful implementation of new teaching methods.
We also have a YouTube channel that has useful resources for parents.
Enrollment Options: We offer various enrollment options. A home learning option is available. Please contact the school for more information for enrollment option that fits your requirements.
Admissions Parents wishing to enroll should make an appointment and bring their child to visit the school. Our numbers are limited and we choose to remain a small school.

A home away from Home , my daughter been at this lovely intimate school since 2 years old (never once did she cry 😭 when i dropped her off , instead i’d be rushed to get her to school)the independence, the fluency the academic structure is outstanding and definitely child centered.I have never needed for anything, supportive to both parents and the little ones . As a single parent i believe God couldn’t have chose a better school for me. To the educators at LPM keep doing what you do with love ❤️. Forever indebted (what a great school ) !
Little People’s Montesorri! Where do I even begin! Annie and her team are remarkable. My daughter was there for a year and I must say there was a huge improvement. Her teacher Girlie was an angel and a star. All the teachers are friendly and are hands on. You can tell that they have a passion with their jobs. My kid was always eager to go to school, unlike the previous school she went to, surely this speaks volumes as it means she was well taken care of. We will miss the school, the standard was top notch. I highly recommend! 10/10! We are happy parents! May God bless everyone in the school! Thanks Annie ❤️
Are there really enough words? 🥹Both our kids went to LPM, a five year difference between them and when they reach Grade 1, the schools are almost shocked at the level they are at.The teachers really treat your kids like they are their own, Annie is also on the ball and knows every baby by name. It really is a family. We will recommend LPM to everyone we know because whether you take your child to a Cambridge school, or IEB, they WILL be prepared. They WILL be confident because they WILL be ready. Also, special mention to Teacher Lethu who teaches Grade R, she’s brilliant. Uncle Shepard will always have a smiling face and make sure that our kids are safe. Teacher Shelley is always such a joy.We will always be grateful.Alex and Fifi
I couldn’t have found my three kids a haven to mentor and prepare their little minds for their future learning but Montessori… I see on my now 12yrs old his school progress is the testimony of foundations laid on him by Montessori Little People’s Pre-School…. My 6yrs old just graduated his grade R and the readiness Montessori implanted in his little mind is superb…all is awesomeness.. I’m grateful for the un-matched great environment Montessori offers to our Little Peoples.. had I had five more kids I would still queue them all up to enrol at Montessori… and to all the teachers of our Little Peoples at Montessori keep up the great Godly works in you… you all deserve a Bells…. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Johnny Maphanga

The curriculum is engaging, promoting both academic and social development. Activities are fun, teachers are supportive and the environment is welcoming.

We highly recommend this preschool to any parent seeking a supportive and enriching start to their child's education journey.
Title: A Wonderful Experience at Little People MontessoriAs a parent of three children who attended Little People Montessori, I can't speak highly enough of our experience. From the moment we stepped foot into the school, we felt welcomed and valued. The teachers were not only professional but also incredibly approachable and friendly, making us feel like part of a big family.What truly stood out to us was the school's dedication to each child's development. The teachers were attentive and fully involved, offering insightful observations and recommendations that truly set our kids up for success. It was evident that they cared deeply about nurturing not just academic growth, but also emotional and social well-being.The entire environment at Little People Montessori was excellent. It fostered a sense of belonging and curiosity, encouraging children to explore and learn at their own pace. As parents, my husband and I appreciated knowing that our children were in such capable and caring hands.We wholeheartedly recommend Little People Montessori to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching preschool experience for their child. Thank you, Little People Montessori, for providing such a wonderful foundation for our children's future.
Keep up the good work and continue to provide our children with the best education. Looking forward to seeing more distinctions from these learners who came from Little Peoples Montessori
