Our Montessori-inspired Early Education Program is one of the Azraq Education Center’s signature programs, delivered in partnership with the Blossom Hill Foundation. Designed for children ages 3–5, the program provides a nurturing environment where children learn through hands-on experiences, creativity, exploration, and collaborative play.

We chose the Montessori approach because of its focus on independence, curiosity, practical learning, and respect for each child’s individual development. Since 2019, we have continuously invested in building the capacity of our teachers. Our educators began with 140 hours of Montessori training through the Modern Montessori School in Amman, followed by additional 60-hour training with Montessori for Lebanon. More recently, our teachers have continued their professional development through ongoing online and on-campus training with Zoe Paul, a Montessori specialist, helping ensure that our approach continues to evolve with current Montessori practices.

We are proud to bring specialized early childhood education to South Azraq, where access to quality early learning opportunities remains limited. Our program has become an important part of the community, giving young children a strong foundation for their educational journey while supporting their confidence, independence, and love of learning.

Today, our Montessori program serves nearly 80 children ages 3–5, making it a unique and important early childhood education opportunity for families in the area.
