Our History
The Tesoro Montessori School was founded in 2023 by the Casa Montessori association and embodies the principles of Montessori pedagogy. Our school is AMI-certified and officially recognized by the state.
​
The founding idea arose from our passion: Melanie Reyes Vega, Leslie Fuchs, and Virginia Cassina, who met during an AMI 3-6 Assistant course. We strongly believe that every child can achieve great things when their natural curiosity and creativity are nurtured.
​
Another important consideration was that there was nothing comparable in the Horgen district. We wanted to be perceived as a valuable addition to the existing educational offerings. With this approach, we created a school that supports children in discovering and developing their individual strengths.
​
Our school will officially begin on August 19, 2024, with a small group of students aged 3-6. We have worked diligently to create a family-like atmosphere where every child feels safe and cared for.
​
Our educational offerings are continuously expanding. The Tesoro Montessori School provides a diverse curriculum. Project weeks, creative workshops, and excursions enrich the school day and promote the holistic development of the children.
​
A key component of our program is the introduction of a garden and collaboration with local farms. These initiatives help raise the children’s awareness of sustainable living and environmental protection.
​
With the "Transparent Classroom" tool, we make communication and documentation more transparent and effective. Parents can actively follow their children's development.
​
Today, the Tesoro Montessori School is a thriving educational institution. Our dedicated teachers, diverse learning opportunities, and close collaboration with parents make our school a special place for learning and growth.
​
We look forward to accompanying many children on their educational journey starting on August 19, 2024, and helping them realize their dreams, in accordance with the philosophy of Maria Montessori.
