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.

Montessori

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
Reggio Emilia

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
Play-Based

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

A story-based curriculum

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.

Self Expression

Drama, storytelling, art, music and free play that help every child find their voice and celebrate who they are.

  • Story circles
  • Creative arts studio
  • Music & movement

Holistic Health

Nourishing minds, bodies and emotions through mindful daily rhythms, outdoor play and warm, secure relationships.

  • Yoga & mindfulness
  • Healthy meals
  • Social-emotional learning

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

A Day in the Life
