Pre-school: The Montessori House, Sarajevo

Welcome to the “International Montessori House”!
International Montessori House is a licensed private pre-school institution for children from 12 months until the enrolment in school.
The purpose of our work is to ensure a stimulating environment by means of the Montessori philosophy and method, where every child can feel free and develop individually and naturally and gradually realize their potential.
The Montessori learning method emphasizes a collaborative environment, multi-aged classrooms and self-directed learning which meet the needs and interests of each child. Older children assist the learning of younger children, and while lesson plans are invisible to the pupils, structured learning takes place. Children have a chance to explore, create and learn without pressure and are encouraged to experiment and question. Playing and fun are a part of that process.
Our pre-school has two locations in Sarajevo.

You can find us at the address Avde Smajlovića 9, in the Vraca neighbourhood, and in the street Buka 11, in the Mejtaš neighbourhood (centre).
In front of the buildings there are parking slots as well as a taxi stand.
Our two premises are about 560 m2 large. Specifically the pre-schools consist of 5 classrooms, a library for children, dining room where the children eat breakfast and cook, as well as a kitchen where the breakfast, lunch and snacks are being prepared. The main entrances of our pre-schools are being monitored and the entire premises are under video surveillance.
The backyards of the pre-schools are fenced in and are about 300 m2 large. In the backyards there are plenty of equipment for the development of motor skills (slide, swing, seesaws, etc.) as well as a garden with vegetables and flowers, which are planted and nourished with the help of the children.
We are aware that starting pre-school is a milestone in every child`s life. It is our promise to you that your child`s experience at our pre-school will be a positive one. Children explore, create and learn without pressure and are encouraged to experiment and question. Children will play, learn and grow together and enjoy their pre-school family. All this enhance their feeling of worth in the world. Children will know that International Montessori House is her/his special, safe place!
We are not just a pre-school, we are a family. Come and see for yourself!
