Carnegie House Preschool in Riebeek Kasteel and Paarl offers 2 classroom environments - a Toddlers environment for children from 18 month to about 3 years and a Preschool (3 - 6 year) environment for children aged 3 years to 6 years. Both classroom environments are run by experienced staff who uphold the core Montessori principles of independence, respect and freedom within limits. Both the Toddler and Preschool environments are comprehensive, challenging and diverse. In both the Montessori Junior and Senior Primary classroom, the child's questions provide the basis for exploration of the world. The subject matter is relevant to each individual child and provides intrinsic motivation for learning. A Montessori Primary Education does not give the child a collection of trivial facts but rather a vision, an interrelated knowledge and a love of learning.
