Discover our FUNdamentals Learning Program at The Pocket, where we kickstart children's educational journeys from as early as 6 weeks. Our unique curriculum fosters lifelong learning, focusing on language, personal development, physical skills, creativity, problem-solving, and math abilities.

The Pocket hosts a Languages Program on a weekly basis, helping children learn languages in an interactive way using the following tools:

• Storytelling
• Games

STEM: Our exciting Kindy Science program is developed for children to learn STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) early on in their lives to ensure they are prepared for the ever-changing world ahead. If education in STEM is started early, these learning activities help build a sense of curiosity and wonder for the world around, plus an understanding and appreciation for problem-solving.

Welcome to The Pocket Early Education and Care

Our Philosophy

At The Pocket Montessori, we believe in creating a nurturing environment that feels like a home away from home. Located in the heart of St Lucia, we offer children enriching experiences that blend exploration with comfort. Our core values revolve around support, curiosity, diversity, and fun.

Foundations of Our Vision

Central to our approach are the relationships between children, educators, and families. These connections form the bedrock of our service, fostering a sense of belonging where every child feels safe, respected, and valued. Our educators are committed to promoting challenging experiences, fostering intimate interactions, and guiding children's thought processes.

Active Learning and Empowerment

We view children as active learners who construct knowledge, confidence, social competence, and independence through their daily experiences. Understanding the importance of time, space, and support, we provide a curriculum that is co-constructed with input from children and families. Our goal is to empower each child to imagine, believe, and explore freely.

Celebrating Childhood

At The Pocket Montessori, we uphold the right of every child to play and celebrate their discoveries and learning. We trust children to be active participants in decisions that affect their world, guided by caring educators who shape their experiences.

Community Engagement

We strive to nurture children to explore, investigate, and share their learning with the broader community. Our educators forge strong attachments with each child and family, creating a supportive village within The Pocket. We recognize and embrace the individual learning dispositions of each child, fostering connections with their world.

Professional Standards and Reflection

Our team upholds professional standards in all practices, interactions, and relationships. We encourage self-reflection and collaborative thinking among educators to ensure the best interests of the child are always prioritised.

Cultural Diversity and Inclusion

At The Pocket, diversity is celebrated, drawing from core traditional practices, ancestral knowledge, and indigenous ways of knowing. We embrace and respect our families' cultural aspirations through continuous contributions to our service and curriculum. Our inclusive environment welcomes LGBTIQ-parented families and respects diverse family structures.

Environmental Responsibility

We empower children to care for our environment through sustainable practices and learning opportunities aimed at developing healthy attitudes towards sustainability.
