GARDENERS
WELCOME TO
The Gardeners Montessori School
A crèche, nursery, and primary school for children from 3months to Grade 6.
Founded in 2012 by Mrs. Anaduaka Onobeze Stephanie, The Gardeners Montessori School delivers world-class, child-centered education. We blend authentic Montessori methods and materials with the rigorous British-Nigerian curriculum to nurture confident, independent, and globally aware learners.
Our carefully prepared environment is warm, safe, and stimulating. Every child is respected as an individual and guided to discover their unique potential at their own pace.
Our educators are highly qualified, Montessori-trained professionals with deep cultural awareness. They bring international best practices and valuable insights into diverse cultures to every classroom.
At The Gardeners, we don’t just teach children. We grow future leaders.
Montessori at The Gardeners School: Education for the Whole Child Holistic formation starts early. Our Montessori section nurtures your child’s intellect, character, body, and spirit from the very beginning.
What makes our Montessori different:
1. Child-Centered Learning
No one-size-fits-all. Each child works with specially designed materials that make abstract concepts concrete. They learn by doing, not just listening.
2. Qualified Montessori Educators
Our teachers hold NCE/B.Ed plus certified Montessori training. They observe, guide, and respect each child’s learning rhythm — never rushing or holding back.
3. Practical Life & Character
Pouring, buttoning, cleaning, gardening — these activities build coordination, concentration, and responsibility. Children learn grace, courtesy, and care for their environment daily.
4. Mixed-Age Classrooms
Younger children learn from older ones. Older children grow in leadership by teaching. It’s a natural community that builds social skills and empathy.
5. Prepared Environment
Beautiful, calm, and ordered classrooms with child-sized furniture. Everything has a place, teaching respect, discipline, and independence from age 3.
Outcome: Montessori children at The Gardeners School transition to primary school reading, counting, and — most importantly — thinking. They’re curious, self-motivated, and socially confident.

As the Educational Development Director, my vision is simple: every child who walks through our gates should leave confident, disciplined, and prepared for life.

HAPPY PARENTS
See What Parents Are Saying
My daughter cried every morning at her old school. Two weeks at The Gardeners Montessori School, and she runs into class. The teachers are warm, the class is calm, and she’s already tracing letters. I finally exhale when I drop her off.”
Discipline without fear — that’s what we get here. The teachers correct my son with love and clear standards. His math improved, yes. But I’m more impressed by how polite and organized he’s become at home. The school and I are speaking one language
