4worldlovers: Montessori International Preschool is an environmentally-friendly preschool based on the Montessori educational approach.

We are committed to the principles of Maria Montessori and to providing a safe, secure and happy environment for your children.

Our dedicated staff provides activities that will encourage your child to investigate and explore, to gain confidence, independence and language development.

Some of our key features for the preschool are as follows:

For children from 2 years 10 months to 6 years old. The structure is based on the multi-age principle that children of different ages share the same classroom and work at their own pace. At the end of preschool, they will be able to integrate any school system, whether it is in Denmark or abroad.

It is a comprehensive educational approach based on the observation of children’s needs. Montessori assures that there is maximum independent learning and exploration by the child. Under the guidance of a trained teacher, children learn by making discoveries with the materials, cultivating concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning. This builds self-confidence, inner discipline, a sense of self-worth and instils positive social behaviour.

Our preschools offer tuition in English. We sometimes sing songs in Danish and we also celebrate birthdays by singing the birthday song in as many languages as we know (depending on the nationalities of the children who are attending the preschool). On average we have between 12 and 20 languages spoken by both children and staff. This exposes the children to different languages from a young age which will allow them to develop their communication skills as well as their acceptance and curiosity for people from different backgrounds.

The preschool emphasizes recycling and efficient use of energy supplies. The practice of automatic recycling of materials and reduced waste is essential for the overall organisation.

Children and staff are from many different backgrounds and cover a wide diversity of cultures, religions and nationalities. The children learn about celebrations and customs from different countries, especially the ones represented by the children’s families and the staff. On average, we have 25 different nationalities represented at each preschool.

The children at Sunrise are truly young citizens of the world and as such we aim to give them the tools to journey out into their futures with self-confidence and respect for themselves as well as for others.

The Neo-Humanist education system is based on and dedicated to the holistic growth development of children throughout their educational years.

From an early age, it encourages the child to feel love and respect for all, regardless of culture, race, religion or nationality and to extend this love and respect to animals, plants and the environment.

The Neo-Humanist curriculum aims to foster the individual development of all aspects of a child’s being: their physical body and senses, emotions, intellect, creativity and finally spiritual development. This is achieved through acknowledgment of the child’s inner strengths and beauty, the use of positive language, and a focus on community service and interaction with nature.

Climbing tools, toys, reading material, plant nurseries or something else are added to the Sunrise house every year.

We have some great certified teachers working with us as well as pedagogues. Come and meet them yourself.

The school provides a healthy and nutritious hot vegetarian lunch as well as equally healthy snacks and fruits in the mornings and afternoons.

The aim of the Sunrise activities, is to strengthen the children’s skills and personality and helping them to become valuable citizens of tomorrow.

A few such themes could be winter, space, earth, plants, animals, myself, my family, traffic and cultures of the world. These themes are incorporated in the daily life of the students through projects, books, counting, writing, singing etc.

Public transportation brings us to see theater, music, walk in nature or learn dancing moves outside of the premises. The world is big and full of fun and things to learn.
