Our Story

Little steps, big hearts

Help me do it myself!

Bubbly Kidz Montessori is a small pre-school in Faerie Glen, Pretoria, created to feel like a second home: warm, calm and full of laughter. Add a line about when and how the school started.

Our classrooms follow the ideas of Dr Maria Montessori. Children work with real, beautiful materials, choose what they want to learn and move at their own pace. Teachers guide gently, then step back so each child can discover things for themselves.

We never compare one child to another. We help each one be the best they can be.

Why an elephant?

Our founder has always loved elephants, and they suit us perfectly. Elephants are gentle and curious, and the whole herd helps raise every little one. That's how we see our school family too.

  • Hands-on learningGolden beads, sandpaper letters and puzzles turn big ideas into things small hands can hold.
  • Mixed-age classesOlder children help and lead; younger ones learn by watching their friends.
  • Practical lifePouring, buttoning, gardening and preparing snack build focus and independence.
  • Calm, ordered spacesChild-sized shelves where everything has a place and every child can reach it.

My children attended Bubbly Kidz Preschool for two years, and our experience was very good. Teacher Marizete is loving, patient, and supportive, creating a safe and nurturing environment. I saw great improvement in my children’s confidence, social skills, and learning. I truly appreciate the care and dedication shown to the kids. I highly recommend Bubbly Kidz Preschool to other parents.

Happy New Year Teacher M. Refentse has been accepted into College for grade R this year at age 4. I owe her emotional and educational readiness for this big step to you, Grace and her supportive and intelligent brother (whom you have also taught). I wanted to thank you for everything that you have done for my kids and I over the last few years. My kids are so smart, respectful, self aware and in-love with God thanks to you. You've supported us through our toughest times and helped protect my daughter from harm without judgement. Bubbly Kidz is the greatest academic decision I've made for my kids thus far. You loved and cared for them as your own without fail, everyday. That is rare, but you are genuine and consistent like that ❤️. I am eternally grateful to you and Grace for that 🙏 ✨️ Wishing you great health, more love and continued success in your business 🌻💓👑✨🙏🏼

My Son enjoyed every moment at Bubbly Kids. It was his second home. He learnt a lot including writing, phonics and shapes. Teacher Marizette’s attention to detail is magnificent and her passion with child development is applauded. Thank you for taking care of my Son and give him the best days of his schooling life

Both my daughters went to Bubbly Kidz Montessori and we were super blessed to have had the opportunity. I still believe that it is because of Marizete and her loving environment she created for the kids to grow in that they are eager to learn, free thinkers, independent and self motivated. Montessori is an amazing way to grow and with the combination of a fantastic and passionate teacher there is just no other way. We will always be part of the Bubbly Kidz family even though it has been many years since my kids went to nursery school. I highly recommend Bubbly Kidz Montessori.

This preschool is truly remarkable! It's a hidden gem. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time there, which was crucial for us. They maintain a limited number of children to ensure each one receives the necessary attention. The curriculum, discipline, and extracurricular activities are outstanding. To this day, they feel like an extended family to us. Thank you for giving your all, for both the kids and parents!

I would highly recommend Bubbly Kidz Montessori for your pre-schooler! My daughter attended 2 wonderful years with Marizete and her school through the ages of 4 and 5 (after having had some negative experiences with mainstream pre-schools). Marizete is not only an excellent teacher in the Montessori method; she is also caring and highly invested in the needs of each individual child ensuring they have the best learning and social development experience. Her communication with the parents is also excellent; you will always know the areas your child is thriving in and where a little bit more love and attention is required. Bubbly Kidz Montessori is an amazing school in the Pretoria East area.

We can whole-heartedly recommend Bubbly Kidz Montessori. Both our children loved the time that they spent there and learned so much in this caring, loving and fun environment. The teachers are always friendly, knowledgeable and provide regular and detailed feedback on the development of each child. The classroom is incredibly child-friendly, bright and offers a lot of outdoor space for activities.
