Rhio's Casa dei Bambini
A Private Montessori Preschool
Academic • Character • Creative • Social • Physical
Our school is based on the original teachings of Maria Montessori. We believe in the traditional Montessori approach to your child and their early education. This means your child will be offered the best in early childhood education.
Montessori, herself, believed in the “Best for the youngest!” We believe that too. Now is the time to invest in your child’s future! If the right foundations are laid at the earliest age the rest will follow.
Your child’s potential is governed by their absorbent mind, their sensitive periods of development and their tendencies of developing their potentials offered to them. We believe in the respect of each child’s unique personality and orientation to the world.

“The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”
