Our Programms
Group for children 1-6 years (Full day or half day program)
In our Center, children are engaged in needlework, baking bread, grinding coffee, washing and ironing, making bouquets, sculpting from clay and dough, and painting pictures. At the same time, they learn new letters and numbers, laws of mathematics and language, read books, study maps of the world, and solve problems. Here, children receive comprehensive development and learn to be creative and find solutions in challenging situations. A wise, creative and professional team of teachers helps them in these difficult matters! In our center you will find a wide variety of materials for the development of the child’s speech, the development of his large, fine motor skills, and coordination of movement. The space in the group is specially arranged so that the child can learn to be independent and communicate with others.
Our mission
Our mission is to establish the authentic Montessori Education standard in our Montessori Children’s Center Wonderworld, inspiring colleagues around us to follow the same path.
Our main task is to lay the foundations for a holistic, harmonious personality of the child, who is able to make independent decisions and be free , while still maintaining a sense of discipline.
Our center is a place where children go with joy and a great desire to learn! It is a place where:
• A fundamentally different approach to the upbringing, education and development of the child is pursued.
• Children learn to choose and make their own decisions.
• The child’s individual pace is assessed and individual learning development plans are created based on the child’s needs.
• The possibility of in-depth study of preferred subjects exists.
• Projects are developed on the basis of a child’s initiative, not a teacher’s directive.
• The educational process is continuous from a very young age.
• Our Montessori teachers have certificates and diplomas that confirm their knowledge and skills in conducting classes with children through the system of Maria Montessori.
The method of Maria Montessori

The method of Maria Montessori is unique. It is based on a prudent relationship between freedom and a clear structure specifically designed for a small child. The method provides a pleasant, prepared environment with carefully designed didactic materials that correspond to the child’s natural needs.
The Montessori method gives your child a solid foundation for the formation of a person who is fully developed, responsible, happy and educated. Here is some elements which characterize the Montessori method (according to the American Montessori Association (AMS):
Children choose their work based on their own talents, interests and abilities.
Children form concepts independently with the help of self-learning materials.
Children set their own pace of work to absorb information.
Children determine their own mistakes based on the Montessori didactic material’s feedback.
Parents are equal partners in the educational process. There is an orderly program for parents on mastering Montessori philosophy.
Children attending Montessori groups acquire a huge internal motivation to learn, the ability to concentrate on work, independence, useful communication skills, and internal discipline. The method also helps to build obedience and willpower, develops responsibility, increases diligence and the pursuit of self-improvement, and develops intuition and social adaptation.
The Montessori program is based on self-directed cognitive activity, which helps the child to obtain the necessary scientific and social knowledge, develop their own style and ability to approach challenges with optimism.
Studying from an early age to make decisions, children raised by the M. Montessori system are able to manage their time and successfully work together. They easily exchange ideas and discuss work. This natural ability to communicate with a positive attitude helps to lay the foundations for harmony with the outside world.
The main motto of the Montessori method is: “Help me do it myself!”

Nima Sherpa-Slámová
Nima was born in Nepal. For the whole carrier she has dedicated herself to the education of preschool kids. Back in Nepal she was certified as a social worker and was trained by government led organization for kids and education.
Following years she spent in different countries getting experience and knowledge in social disciplines and working as a teacher. It’s already 9 years since she moved to and settled in Prague. She has worked for prestigious international school in Prague’s center for 7 years, having been promoted to the position of main teacher for kids until 3 years old along the way.
During first years she run across the philosophy of Montessori and her everyday life in school led her to recognition that it was the best way how to educate small children. She then proceeds to study long term Montessori course which completely enhanced her interest in this beautiful method.
Nima has always respected the personality of kids she had taken care of, which nicely complies with Montessori teaching. During her carrier she got to know how individual needs and talents of kids differ and you may not stress enough the importance of this and relevance of the individual approach to Montessori teaching. You can’t substitute prepared environment, one of the fundamentals of Montessori, with other approaches. Building friendly, supportive atmosphere is a necessary condition and observing kids is a tool to enable them learning with a joy. And that is Nima’s ultimate aspiration.
