Parent Testimonials

"I would call Montessori Māja a poetic kindergarten that merges the poetry of childhood and the philosophy of Maria Montessori. After entering kindergarten, I saw an improvement in the child's social skills, she feels confident and free. Wonderful warm-hearted teachers, the Chinese language, which was our decisive factor, the extraordinary pictures that children paint together, music, yoga - everything will bear fruit, as they say!

Maria

Esther's mother

"It was important for us that the kindergarten was not just near where we live or on the way to work, but that the child really feels good there. Leo is a boy with a character, and it is important to find an approach to him. On top of this, other criteria were Leo`s allergy restrictions and our plant-based diet. Finding a kindergarten according to all these parameters was a very difficult task. How wonderful that we have learned about "Montessori Maja"! This is really an amazing place. Light and spacious atmosphere, no motley toys, wonderful teachers and Leo speaks 5 languages every day!!! The group has a teacher of English, French and Chinese, to which one has to add communication in Russian and Latvian. We are very grateful to the kindergarten's principal Nina, she is incredible, and it's really true, she came to Leo every morning and helped him adapt. I have never seen such a preschool where the principal is the most beloved adult among children ;-)"
