Celebrating its 29th year, Rathgar Montessori and Kindergarten provides the highest standard of preschool Montessori education and care for your child . Open Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, Rathgar Montessori Kindergarten was founded to give children the best possible start to the most important school years. We want the children to be happy, and content to progress without pressure, and most importantly to enjoy their days at school as much as we do. The Montessori method offers a structured system that allows the children to develop at their own pace, using their own abilities under guidance of a trained Montessori Directress and the use of the specially designed Montessori materials. We like the children to be independent and to share. We want them to have freedom within structure and to learn how to take care of each other, to take care of the materials, and to learn from them.
