Svetla Todorova
Montessori Team Manager
“I trusted the team at ‘Montessori House’ because the Montessori method allows the child to take initiative and explore the world without limitations, while the teacher plays more of a supportive and guiding role rather than an expert one. The individual approach and attention to my child were key priorities in choosing a childcare setting, and I certainly made the right choice.
The Montessori method teaches children life skills beyond academic achievements and textbooks – growing plants, cooking, and much more. Passing knowledge and skills from older to younger children is often a more effective learning method in early years than learning from an adult. Last but not least, the freedom given to the child in the method naturally teaches responsibility and discipline necessary for successful development and adaptation to different stages of life.
We found all this and more at ‘Montessori House’ and are grateful to the entire team and Karin Dom for being a second home to my child.”
Dimitrinaip, mother of Phil
Karin Dom has been implementing the Montessori method since 2001 in the education and therapy of children with special needs. In 2011, Montessori House opened its doors for full-day activities for children.
The teachers hold additional qualifications in Montessori pedagogy, and their work is periodically supervised by Feodora Stanchov, co-founder and Montessori educator at the International Montessori School in Toulouse, France.
Activities take place in a well-organised Montessori environment with original educational materials. The play and learning rooms are entirely designed according to the needs of the children. The furnishings, flooring, and overall environment create a cosy and eco-friendly atmosphere.
Early start, better future
A key part of the Montessori philosophy is the so-called “Supportive” environment. The environment is organised in such a way that the child has the opportunity to choose what to play with, to be self-sufficient, and to participate in daily activities at home.

“Absorbent Mind” is the period from 0 to 6 years in children
The teacher should carefully observe and, if possible, improve the learning environment, taking into account the child’s needs. They support each child to naturally discover their talent, vocation, and to develop their potential.
The teacher enables the child to build themselves, to develop their abilities and gifts, driven by their inner strength and own pace.
The age of 2-4 years is extremely important due to children’s ability to learn and acquire new knowledge and skills. At this age, children acquire practical life skills, enrich their vocabulary, create, actively explore the world through their senses, and develop their mathematical concepts.
Professional support
The team manager is an experienced specialist who has completed certified training with the International Montessori Association.
More about the Montessori method
Dr Maria Montessori (1870–1952) was the first female physician in Italy, a scientist, psychologist, anthropologist, original and brilliant educator, humanist, and philosopher. She was nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize. She developed her method “based on the child’s free choice in a prepared environment” and dedicated her life to education, believing that every child possesses an intuition that guides their development.
The role of the adult is to support, not to block this impulse. Montessori was convinced that the educational system should adapt to the interests of the child, not the other way around.
The Montessori method requires observation, care, and responsibility—not to impose models, but to show tolerance towards individuality. Free choice, combined with a prepared environment, stimulates the child’s natural drive to learn and explore.
