What We Offer
We offer quality education for your child, with our high-skilled and qualified teachers.
At The Cradle Montessori School, we understand that the earliest years are the foundation of a child’s development. Our creche provides a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where your little ones can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
With experienced caregivers and age-appropriate activities, we focus on nurturing each child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our program encourages curiosity, creativity, and early learning, ensuring that every child feels loved and supported.
We are dedicated to providing peace of mind to parents, knowing that their child is in the best hands during these important first steps of their educational journey.
The early years of a child’s education are crucial for brain development and lay the foundation for future learning, behavior, and health. Positive experiences, especially stable relationships and supportive environments, promote healthy development, helping children reach key milestones. During this time, they explore a world beyond home, making new friends, engaging in play, and interacting with adults, all of which shape their growth and success.
Extra-curricular activities
Extra-curricular activities can help to boost pupils’ academic performance, and develop valuable skills. They contribute to boosting one’s self-confidence and overall personal development.
We have various clubs such as Swimming, Karate, Music, Ballet and Red Cross.

Upcoming Events
Parents-Teachers Conference (EYFS Open Day)
Our Parents–Teachers Conference (EYFS Open Day) is an opportunity for collaboration, reflection, and growth.
It provides parents with firsthand insight into their child’s learning journey, progress, and development within our nurturing Montessori environment.
At The Cradle, we believe that when home and school work together, every child thrives. This Open Day fosters meaningful conversations between parents and teachers — building stronger partnerships that support each child’s holistic growth and success.
Together, we’re shaping confident, creative, and compassionate learners — The Cradle way! 
Parents Teach Day
At The Cradle, we believe learning becomes even more meaningful when parents are part of the experience.
Parents Teach Day is a special event where parents step into the classroom to share their knowledge, skills, and experiences with our pupils. From creative demonstrations to inspiring life lessons, it’s always a fun, enlightening, and memorable time for both pupils and parents alike.
This initiative strengthens the bond between home and school while fostering teamwork, creativity, and a sense of community — values that lie at the heart of The Cradle culture.
Thematic Exit Point: Fruity Shapes & Colors
Our Early Years pupils will be concluding their Fruity Shapes & Colors theme with a joyful Exit Point experience. This event is designed to consolidate and celebrate the children’s learning about fruits in a fun and engaging way, encouraging sensory exploration, creativity, and collaboration among learners.
The goal is to create a colorful and memorable experience that reflects the Montessori approach to thematic learning — where children explore, discover, and express understanding through hands-on activities and joyful participation. 
Primary Open Day & Mid-Term Progress Report
Our Primary Open Day provides a valuable platform for parents and teachers to connect, reflect, and collaborate on each child’s academic and personal development.
During this session, teachers share updates on pupils’ progress through the Individualised Education Plan (IEP) — highlighting strengths, growth areas, and personalized strategies designed to support continuous improvement.
At The Cradle, we recognize that every child learns at their own pace and in their own unique way. This Open Day helps ensure that learning remains tailored, intentional, and impactful — fostering the excellence, creativity, and godliness that define The Cradle experience.
