WELCOME!
At our Montessori school in Parkmore, Sandton, nestled in a lush park surrounded by nature, we believe that the outdoors is one of the most powerful classrooms for young learners. Our nature-based Montessori program encourages hands-on discovery, creativity, and independence, supporting every aspect of a child’s holistic development. Rooted in Maria Montessori’s philosophy, our approach integrates outdoor exploration into daily learning, allowing children to connect deeply with their environment. The park serves as an extension of our classroom - an inspiring natural space that sparks curiosity, nurtures a love for learning, and builds a lifelong appreciation for the world around them.
What We Offer
Toddler Programme
Our Toddler Programme offers children from 16 months to 3 years a unique and happy start to school and ensures self-development in a loving, warm atmosphere of special understanding and support taking into account their individual needs. Monti-Playgroup is also available for part-time children.
Pre-School Programme
The 3-5 year old goes through an intense period of change, including the transition to cooperative play and more complex social interactions, a language explosion leading to beginning skills in writing and reading, the emergence of number sense and the foundations of math, and great changes in physical development.
Holiday Club
The Field and Study Montessori offers a fun and stimulating holiday programme. Our holiday programme includes arts and crafts, sensory activities, gross motor activities, bike time, nature walks, playing in the park, circle time and much more! Holiday Club is offered during the April, August and September holidays.
Nature Programme
We emphasise the importance of fostering a deep connection with nature in our students. We believe that nature is not only a source of learning but also a teacher in itself. Our students are encouraged to observe, interact, and care for the natural world around them. Through activities such as gardening, nature walks, and animal observations, children develop a sense of respect, awe, and appreciation for the environment. We believe that this connection with nature nurtures their sense of stewardship and fosters a lifelong commitment to environmental sustainability.

The Importance of Nature
We are so grateful to Field and Study Montessori Pre-School for giving our daughter such a strong, loving, and joyful start to her learning journey. I couldn’t recommend them more highly to any parent looking for a nurturing first school experience.
