• Galya- E.'s mother

  My daughter joined Montessori Children House as a toddler and spent 4 years there. She left for preschool with strong skills in math, critical thinking, and English with the cutest native accent. More importantly, she grew into an independent, confident, and curious child. She still keeps best friends from there and refers to the school as a happy place. We as parents met competence, shared values, and close attention to our child’s best interests. I would recommend Montessori Children House to all parents, looking for nurturing, respectful and joyful environment for their children. Thank you, team, for making this formative period such an easy, safe, and precious time for our family!

• Elvan and Jason George (Melisa’s parents, USA)

  We started looking for a kindergarten since our daughter, Melisa turned age of two and a half, because she had never been in daycare/preschool before we needed to be really careful. We spent 2 months searching for a school for her. Finally, we found Montessori Children's House. After a couple of days there, she was a thriving, happy and well adjusted child. She loved coming to school to learn and play with her friends. My husband and I were both pleased by the excellent curriculum and structured environment.
  The open spaces, use of primary colors and continuity of the teaching faculty are so important to young children. Their natural curiosity and creativity are encouraged, and each child is permitted to learn at his or her own pace. Moreover, the teachers are always calm and soft-spoken, even at playtime, creating an atmosphere that is secure and reassuring for the children.
  When we enter the school, it is like entering an oasis of order and learning, where young minds are stimulated in the bright classrooms and under the shady trees. The classrooms and yards are neat and orderly and even the sandbox.
  We think that this school should be an example to other schools. Whenever someone asks about schools in Sofia for young children, Montessori Children's House is at the top of our list.

• George and Gergana (Kaloyan's Parents, BG)

  Our kid started at MCH when he did not even have 2. He spent marvelous 4 years which made him a great individual. Those 4 years were engaging for us parents in a very good way too. In the first few months when he started he learnt very quickly how to dress, walk, talk and behave. But Montessori Children’s House is much more valuable than taking care for your kid for day-to-day stuff. MCH inspires the kids to be great social beings, to be eager for knowledge, kind, and sharing. I fullheartedly recommend MCH. Dont judge kindergartens by the building, social status or the toys. You are not buying the next gen iPhone or Mercedes. Ask for ethics and values and you will be given a lot of time for that at MCH. By the way, it's one of the few kindergartens in Sofia where your kid will be in an truly international environment both among kids and teachers.

  When I went to Montessori Children’s House, I did not know I would find new friends but I found good ones and every day playing with them and was meeting new children. In the beginning, I was a bit shy, but I met the children, we started having fun.
  I enjoyed working with the materials very much because each one is different and fun and teaches you something new.
  I did not want to go to school because I would miss Yana and the other children, as well as the teachers.
  I liked story time very much and it was interesting because Diana was taking Bulgarian books and was reading them in English.

• Irina (Antonia’s mother, BG)

  I have said many times that choosing “Montessori Children’s House” (Detska kushta Montessori) is maybe of the best decisions in my life. MCH is not only a place where my child was spending time, while we were at work. This is a place where my child became acquainted with life itself; a place where we as parents felt also like being educated. There I had the feeling that they do not simply love children- there they first see and then bring up and educate the man, his/her personality. At Montessori Children’s House, the child has the freedom to be herself and learns with the responsibility that comes along with every freedom. The language development, the contact with diverse cultures, and the strong child’s healthcare are just part of the wealth we received from Montessori Children’s House. MCH gave a start to our daughter, which every child deserves and would be wonderful to receive. If I have to summarize in one word what MCH gives to their children it is love – love towards the person/man who unfolds.

• Nadia (Gazza and Sarah’s mother, Indonesia)

  Our first encountered with this children’s house in Sofia was a coincidence. I fell in love with this Montessori, when Diana showed me around the class, the learning equipment, she also explained the learning and teaching method, and she answered all my questions and fulfilled what I wanted for my children's basic education.
  
  The Montessori teaching system had taught our children in so many ways that a child is capable of. Montessori Children’s House recognized the need of each child in order to develop their best skills.
  Both Gazza and Sarah have the best basic practical skills for their daily life routines. They are now continuing their education here in Indonesia but I can tell proudly that they are more advanced in various levels than their peers. So I am again thankful to Detska Kushta Montessori Sofia who cared, taught, guided, not only our two beloved children but us the parents. We also learned how to be a good teacher for Gazza and Sarah at home.

• Meglena Ayolova - I's mom

  Our son spent the happiest years of his childhood at the Montessori Children's House. He was only 3 years old when he started visiting this wonderful place! Thanks to the exceptional people who took care of him, a year later he spoke English and was able to take care of himself and his friends, he was growing as a valuable person. It was extremely important for us how our child goes to kindergarten smiling and in the evening looks forward to telling us how his day went. At the age of four he could sew buttons :) I don't have enough words to thank the team of Montessori Children's House! Great place, great team, great results! We are family <3

  This is a great kindergarten in Sofia where they teach with Montessori method.
  The principle is very disciplined and has strong belief in childhood education. Also, the teachers there are very much dedicated to guide the children.
  We are a foreign national family lived in Bulgaria for 5 years and our daughter attended this place for about 4 years (from 1 and half year old to 6 years old).
  Both of us (the parents) were full time worker at a diplomatic corp in Sofia and our daughter stayed at this place from 8:30 to 17:30 everyday. We felt very secured and comfortable leaving our daughter there.
  This kindergarten is a place which you can trust and leave the child without any need for anxiety.
  After 4 years there, our daughter speaks both English and Bulgarian fluently.

• Iva Marinova - M's mom

  My child was lucky enough to spend as much time as possible in what I call "paradise". In my opinion, this is the place where one feels better than at home. And believe me, my son never lacked anything at home, starting with love and attention, entertainment and freedom to choose, good upbringing and understanding from those around him. However, he came to a place that he will remember for sure for the rest of his life, because oases like Montessori Children's House are not many in our country. a temporary society. It is a place where children feel happy, free and loved. An unforgettable corner where a child finds the warmth of togetherness and the eternally smiling play. I don't know exactly where to start, but because about the teaching method anyone can read enough information and believe me, it will certainly be true, I prefer to write about the things that are not seen but felt. Just as a parent, no matter how many courses he attends, he cannot learn how to raise children you are He must feel it. Likewise, a teacher cannot be taught how to properly treat his students, no matter how many degrees he has. This must be felt with heart and soul. In my opinion, this is the main thing that sets this garden apart from the rest. Because the attitude and upbringing towards children is at times better than that of their parents. The start that teenagers get in life is the thing that has no price. At the same time, parents can feel calm and confident that their children are safe and receiving special care and attention. I don't know how I can express in words my GRATITUDE for the patience, the achieved results, for the creativity and daily self-giving of the entire DKM team.

• Iva Blagovest's Mother

  Dear wonderful ladies of the entire team at Montessori Children's House,

  These weren’t just four years – 2021 to 2025. They were a whole world, built with care, respect, and togetherness. A world of skills, character, friendships, and discoveries – one that shaped Blagovest not just as a student, but as a person. And us – as parents.

  A world where respect isn’t taught – it’s experienced. A world where a person isn’t corrected – but believed in. A world where a child isn’t “small,” but a full soul with the right to choose, to follow their own rhythm, and to enjoy silence.

  The first major chapter of Blagovest’s life has come to an end. And along with it, a part of our parenting journey – filled with gratitude, faith, and trust – has also reached a turning point. It has ended… but it hasn’t concluded. Because the wings and roots we’ve all built together – he, you, and we – remain.

  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts – To every hand that held him gently but firmly. To every voice that called him not with commands, but with invitation and attention. To every teacher, assistant, and person at the Children’s House who saw him not just as a child, but as the future of humanity. As their own child.

  You didn’t just pass on knowledge to him. You passed on a world. One where it is normal – and beautiful – to think differently. To try. To make mistakes. To return. To choose for himself.

  The greatest knowledge Blagovest takes with him is not written in a notebook, nor is it just a skill. It’s in his chest. In his head. In his hands. Freedom with boundaries. Independence with support. Curiosity without fear.

  We, his parents, will continue on this path – in the same spirit. I, at least, know that for sure. Because I see the result: A confident, sensitive, curious, wise child who knows himself.

  Thank you. With faith. With respect. With gratitude. With deep admiration. On behalf of Blagovest and from his heart, which now knows: when an environment respects the inner world of a child – the child blossoms into what they were created to be.

  Childhood is not a preparation for life. It is life itself. And you, the entire magnificent team, honored it, nourished it, and helped it grow with dignity.

  To be honest, I became more emotional and saddened than he did… Because you were always there for us too – responsive, supportive, ready for dialogue, filled with respect and humanity. You also taught us, the parents, the foundations of life – with ease, professionalism, and understanding.

  Thank you. With all my love, Iva

  Iva, Blagovest's Mother
