Happy Feet Montessori Preschool & Playcentre

Happy Feet Montessori Preschool & Playcentre is a preschool and children's play centre in the 10 Miles area of Chileka, Blantyre, Malawi. Its name refers to the Montessori approach to early education, developed by the Italian physician Maria Montessori in the early twentieth century, which emphasises self-directed activity, hands-on learning and mixed-age groups. The preschool has not published its curriculum, age groups or staffing online. In Malawi, education before primary school is not compulsory. Children normally enter Standard 1 of primary school at about six, and early-years provision ranges from community-based childcare centres (CBCCs) to private nursery schools and preschools. Chileka lies on the northern side of Blantyre and is home to Chileka International Airport, about 14 km from the city centre. Blantyre itself, founded as a Church of Scotland mission in 1876 and named after David Livingstone's birthplace in Scotland, is Malawi's centre of finance and commerce and its second-largest city. Fees, term dates, opening hours and admission arrangements have not been published online, so phoning ahead before visiting is advisable.
