Opening September 2026 · Glaudina, Harare
Where stories inspire learning.
A warm, story-led preschool for little ones aged 2 to 5 — where curiosity blossoms and every child finds their voice.
Our Approach
Inspired by Montessori, Reggio Emilia & Play
Our story-based curriculum draws on three world-renowned early-years traditions — the calm independence of Montessori, the creative wonder of Reggio Emilia and the joyful power of play-based learning — woven into a warm, distinctly African nest.
Calm, prepared, independent
Carefully prepared environments, natural materials and freedom within gentle structure help children develop concentration, self-confidence and a real love of learning at their own pace.
- Mixed-age learning communities
- Hands-on, self-correcting materials
- Practical life & independence
Curious, creative, child-led
Children are seen as capable creators of their own learning. Through projects, art and the "hundred languages" of expression, every voice is heard and every idea honoured.
- Project-based, story-led inquiry
- Atelier (art studio) at the heart
- Documentation that celebrates the child
Joyful, playful, hands-on
Play is how young children make sense of their world. Through purposeful free play, role-play and outdoor adventure, children build language, friendships, problem-solving and pure delight in learning.
- Free-flow indoor & outdoor play
- Imaginative & role-play
- Loose parts & sensory exploration
Our Pillars

Every term is built around a treasured story. Through that single tale — and the Montessori and Reggio-inspired environments around it — our children explore language, numeracy, art, music, science and the wider world.

Holistic Health
Nourishing minds, bodies and emotions through mindful daily rhythms, outdoor play and warm, secure relationships.
- Yoga & mindfulness
- Healthy meals

Global Responsibility
Caring for our world — community, culture and the natural environment — so children grow as kind, curious citizens.
- Garden & nature
- Cultural celebrations
- Kindness projects
Inventive Ideas
Curiosity, problem-solving and early STEAM woven through every story to spark imagination and confident thinking.
- STEAM tinkering
- Loose-parts play
- Early literacy & numeracy
