Pre-School
First Term Progress Report
2021

“There are many who hold, as do I, that the

most important period of life is not at the age of
university studies, but the first one, the period
from birth to the age of six. For that is the time
when man’s intelligence itself, his greatest
implement, is being formed. But not only his
intelligence; the full totality of his psychic
powers”
Maria Montessori
