Is there anything more beautiful than watching your child bloom? At Villa Bloom, that’s exactly what we’re here for.
With the Montessori method and the joy of play, we gently support your child as they thrive – and bloom.
At Villa Bloom, children from all over the world, including Brazil, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Korea, Japan, China and India, come together in a truly international community. Our common language is English, though we are always happy to speak German when needed. And if your child does not yet speak English, there is no need to worry – in the right environment, young children absorb language naturally, like a sponge.
… children from Bavaria and around the world have been blooming in our cozy villa in Munich. From the start, we’ve followed the Montessori approach, with English as our main language. For us, Montessori is one of the most thoughtful and respectful ways to nurture a child’s natural potential.
Montessori children learn independently and at their own pace.They tend to be more curious, ask deeper “why” questions, and show more creativity, as they’re encouraged from an early age to explore and discover rather than simply follow instructions.
Whether or not we owe Google or Amazon to Maria Montessori is, of course, a playful debate — but it’s true that their founders, along with Prince William and Harry, Taylor Swift, George Clooney, Jackie Kennedy, and many more, were Montessori kids.
We believe kindergarten is so much more than a safe place where children spend their day.
In the past, kindergartens in Germany were often seen mainly as a space for free play while parents were at work. That was valuable, but the focus was mostly on care and supervision. Learning was not yet considered part of early childhood, and kindergartens were rarely viewed as places of education.
Today, thanks to modern pedagogy and brain research, we know the early years are crucial for developing social skills, independence and cognitive abilities. Early childhood is now understood as a formative phase that shapes how children think, feel and relate to others. This insight has changed expectations of what a kindergarten can and should be.
At Villa Bloom we see ourselves not just as caregivers but as the very first place of education. Our mission is to nurture children, help them grow in values and skills, spark their curiosity and prepare them for life. Free play remains important, but here it is embedded in a purposeful and joyful environment that helps children gain confidence, initiative and a love for discovery.

Rupa has been with us for over 16 years. With warmth and deep experience, she supports our teachers in planning, observing, and nurturing your child’s unique development journey.
As the owner of Villa Bloom Kindergarten, Alex is deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards of education. He ensures that every aspect of daily life runs smoothly, creating an environment where both children and educators can truly thrive – and bloom.
Montessori education is structured early learning. We see kindergarten as a preschool, a place where children learn through exploration and purpose – much more than just a safe space for free play all day.
Beyond knowledge and facts, we nurture respect, social skills, and a sense of daily responsibility.
More attention means better learning outcomes. Our ratio is 1:7 in Kindergarten (and 1:4 in Nursery), well below the legal requirement.
We believe parents are partners in education. You’ll receive weekly updates about what we’re teaching and quarterly reports on your child’s development. We ensure you always know what your child is learning and experiencing.
We foster a close-knit community of parents and children – where else can you meet families from over 12 different countries?
If you have more than one child, our nursery and childcare facilities under one roof make your day easier. Siblings can even see each other during the day!
Our Nursery/Day Care welcomes children from 1 year of age, and our Kindergarten/Preschool starts at age 3.
If your child is ready earlier, we handle this individually – Montessori materials are designed for children from around 2½ years old.
Yes, sometimes! Because of our international community, spots may open up on short notice.
Just give us a call, and we’ll be happy to check availability for you.
Our days include a balance of structured Montessori work time, group activities, outdoor play, and creative exploration. The best way to explore is a „test” session with us.
Our educational concept, in accordance with Section 14 of the Bavarian Child and Adolescent Care Act (BayKiBiG), is available for review at the facility. Upon request, we will be happy to send it to you digitally.
We are lucky to have a large park right next to our Kindergarten – perfect for sledding, swinging, and exploring nature!
Children usually play outdoors twice a day (weather permitting). The small children in the nursery have their own little backyard which is accessible directly.
We partner with a high-quality catering company. Our nutrition policy includes:
If your child has allergies or dietary restrictions, we can easily adapt and will share meal plans regularly.
We’re open every day from 8:15 to 4:30 pm.
If you need more flexibility, please talk to us – we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. We follow the Bavarian school calendar but offer programs during most school holidays.
Our main language is English, but don’t worry – a German-speaking teacher is always available. All our staff speak at least basic German or are native speakers. Children naturally pick up new languages quickly and often communicate in several languages at once!
