The Aster School

Our Approach

A Thoughtful Blend of Montessori and Reggio Emilia inspired approach.

At Aster, our approach is carefully designed to combine the strengths of two globally respected philosophies; Montessori and Reggio Emilia.

This means, children don’t learn in one way. They learn through movement, exploration, creativity, and connection.

The Reggio Influence

We believe children are naturally curious and capable. Through Reggio-inspired practices, we:

  • Encourage creativity and self-expression
  • Use the environment as a learning tool
  • Value children’s ideas and voices
  • Promote exploration through projects and discovery
