A Montessori-inspired pre-k is one of The Azraq Education Center’s signature programs and is run in partnership with the Blossom Hill Foundation.

We chose the Montessori method for its emphasis on creativity, collaborative play, and hands-on learning. In 2019, we partnered with the Modern Montessori School in Amman, Jordan to offer our inaugural class of early education teachers 140 hours of training in Montessori instruction. We have continued to invest in training and, this past year, our teachers completed another 60-hour course with Montessori for Lebanon.

We are proud to bring this kind of specialized education to young kids in South Azraq. Our pre-k is the only early childhood education program in the area and currently serves nearly 80 children ages 3-5.

We are also grateful to have had the support of The Montessori School of Wilton, Connecticut throughout the pandemic. With their distance learning curriculum support, we have been able to ensure our youngest students keep their learning going, even from afar.
