Melville Montessori pre-primary school is located in the residential area of Westdene. The school is situated on the border of Westdene and Melville. Our guard oversees the security of the school and looks after the general upkeep of the beautiful gardens in-between his security duties. We are an English medium, co-ed school with many different denominations making up our splendid multi-cultural environment. The beautiful oregon pine floors and high pressed ceilings add to the charm of the buildings. The building dates back to the early nineteen twenties and is very well maintained. The grounds consist of delightful beds of Agapanthus and a huge Jacaranda tree with the jungle gyms situated under and through the tree. The tree shades the children from the harsh summer sun. During the months of October the Jacaranda blossoms fall continuously to the ground for approximately 3 weeks and the purple carpet along with the blue blossoms of the Agapanthus is a truly magnificent sight. MMS has been in existence for 25 years. We are a small school, which runs on the Montessori approach and the staff are equipped to meet the growing needs of the young children during their formative years.
