Butterfly Progressive Montessori Preschool follows a progressive approach to the Montessori method. We offer a half day preschool program, which promotes the acquisition of new skills through exploration and manipulation of classroom materials as per the traditional Montessori methods. However, we believe in cultivating the whole child and we know the importance of allowing creativity to promote growth. With this belief, our progressive methods add some flexibility to our Montessori curriculum. We regularly have the children participate in the decisions behind their work. The teacher’s role in the classroom is to foster and satisfy the curious minds of the children in the areas of practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics, culture and art.

Our name, consistent with our vision, uses Italian as as homage to Maria Montessori's roots - 'Mia' means 'My' in Italian.
What does the Montessori approach and our school instil in each student? A sense of ownership over learning, a sense that it is 'Mia education'.

At Strongsteps Children's Learning Centre, our goal is to offer a program that meets the intellectual, moral, social, emotional, and physical needs of each child. Our curriculum planning involves the integration of long-term and short-term decisions with daily emergent responses to children’s interests and ideas. Teachers facilitate a balanced approach to incorporate children’s voices, ideas, and interests with a teacher-led focus for learning. Creating opportunities for children to take an active role in decision-making is important, as the greater degree of choice that children have in their learning, the greater the degree of involvement in their learning.
