Experience The Best Authentic Montessori Beginning, the Ardee Way.
A Montessori House in New Delhi for children aged 8 months to 5 years, offering authentic Montessori education in a thoughtfully prepared, nurturing environment. Part of The Ardee Schools, our Montessori House has been shaping confident, independent learners since 2003.
The House at Munirka.
Montessori is often described as child-led. More precisely, it is an environment where the child is free to choose within a sequence that has been prepared with great care. Every material in this House has a purposeful place in that sequence, introduced by a trained adult through a single, precise presentation and thoughtfully designed to help the child recognise and learn from their own work.
What follows belongs to the child: how long to work, how often to repeat, when to pause, and when to return the material to its place on the shelf. In this freedom, children gradually develop independence, concentration and confidence in their own choices.
Ardee Montessori House, Munirka A Street, the House brings together the intimacy of a carefully prepared environment with room to move, garden and grow. It offers children the continuity of an environment they know and trust, while giving them space to take their next steps with confidence.
At Ardee Montessori House, a trusted Montessori school in New Delhi, children learn, explore and grow in a thoughtfully prepared environment that nurtures independence and curiosity.

Authentic Montessori, the Ardee way.
Our Houses follow the Montessori method as Dr. Maria Montessori envisioned it, guided by the experience and values of a school group that opened its first Montessori House in 2003.
Three things that shape the way we work.
Our Philosophy
We believe children thrive when they are trusted to work independently. Our Montessori philosophy is shaped by prepared environments, authentic Montessori materials, and trained mentors who observe before they guide.
Ardeeology
The story of where Ardee began, the three understandings at the heart of our educational philosophy, the mentor’s role in nurturing independence, and a continuous journey of learning from the first environment to Cambridge A Levels.
Environments and Programmes
NIDO, Red, Blue and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS): thoughtfully prepared environments, each designed around a distinct stage of development, with its own materials, daily rhythm and dedicated mentor.
Montessori Education for every stage.
The House welcomes children from 8 months to 6 years, with each stage of development supported by its own thoughtfully prepared environment, authentic Montessori apparatus and carefully considered daily rhythm.
NIDO
The youngest members of the House, welcomed alongside their parents into a calm, nurturing environment prepared for first movements, first words and those first steps towards independence.
Red
Independent two-year-olds refining their fine and gross motor skills through purposeful activities in a prepared environment that builds confidence and a love of learning.
Blue
A mixed-age community where children experience freedom suited to their growing sense of responsibility, while self-discipline develops naturally through their everyday work.
Yellow
The Yellow Children’s House is a calm, purposeful and thoughtfully prepared Montessori environment where children develop independence, concentration and a deeper understanding of the world around them through purposeful, self-directed learning.

The final year of the House, where Montessori work is mapped to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), preparing children for Cambridge Primary at The Ardee School.
Structure that a child can trust.
The day runs from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, beginning with a warm greeting at the door and unfolding into a long, uninterrupted Montessori work cycle. Children move between purposeful indoor work and outdoor experiences in the sandpit and gardening patches, come together for a freshly prepared meal, and end the day calmly with their families.
Arrival and greeting
Each child is greeted by name at the door, independently removes their shoes, and chooses where to begin their Montessori work for the day.
The work cycle and the outdoors
Presentations, independent work, practical life and time in the outdoor play zone.
Departure
A calm handover, with the day's observations shared through the parent communication app.
A morning in the environment.
Six commitments in every environment.
Our Montessori programme is intentionally designed to give every child a warm, confident, and emotionally secure beginning before they enter any formal campus environment.
Certified Montessori educators
Our trained and certified Montessori educators guide each child with patience, deep observation, and a thorough understanding of early-years development. They support growth through gentle guidance rather than instruction.
Sensorial learning materials
Authentic Montessori apparatus invite children to learn through their senses, refine perception, and make abstract ideas concrete. Each material has a clear purpose and supports hands-on discovery.
A strong focus on independence
From simple choices to meaningful self-care tasks, children build confidence, discipline, and ownership of their actions. These early experiences lay the foundation for independence that lasts a lifetime.
Social and emotional learning
Grace and courtesy, mindfulness, and emotional expression are woven into daily routines. Children learn to regulate emotions, collaborate peacefully, and form trusting relationships within their community.
Parent communication via app
Photos, updates, and classroom observations help parents feel connected to their child's day. This transparent home and school bridge supports shared understanding and builds trust.
Peace education
At Ardee Montessori Houses, peace is lived daily through calm environments, respectful relationships, and purposeful work that nurtures self-discipline, empathy, and responsibility.
