Core offering

Montessori Waalsdorp operates an Integraal Kindcentrum (integral child center) combining a Peuterbouw (toddler care for ages 2.5+), a Basisschool (Montessori primary school, groups 1-8), and a Buitenschoolse Opvang (after-school care, BSO/NSO) under a single roof, all delivering Maria Montessori's pedagogy of self-directed learning with an integrated cosmic education curriculum using the DaVinci method.

Product overview

Montessori Waalsdorp is an Integral Child Center (Integraal Kindcentrum) offering a unified portfolio of three interconnected educational services: Peuterbouw (preschool for children from 2.5 years), Basisschool (primary school, groups 1-8 following Montessori methodology), and BSO/NSO (Buitenschoolse Opvang - after-school and NAS (Naschoolse Opvang) care). All three components operate from a single building and share the Montessori philosophy 'Help mij het zelf te doen' (Help me to do it myself), creating a continuous learning line from ages 2.5 to 12 years. The school also provides specialized subject teaching (vaklessen) including movement education, music, visual arts, and cosmic education using the DaVinci method.
