Why Choose Us

What Makes Merry Journey Different

Parents choose Merry Journey for many reasons. Here are the ones they tell us matter most.

Authentic Montessori

Genuine Montessori practice — not just Montessori in name. Trained guides, real materials and a prepared environment designed around the child's developmental stage.

1:4 Teacher Ratio

Small class sizes with a 1:4 teacher-to-child ratio ensure every child receives the focused attention and individual care they need to thrive.

Nurturing from 3 Months

We are one of very few Montessori schools in Accra that provides high-quality care from as early as 3 months — a complete early years journey in one trusted environment.

Three-Curriculum Approach

An integrated blend of Montessori, British and Ghanaian curriculum frameworks — giving children strong academic foundations alongside Montessori independence and confidence.

Proven Outcomes

Our graduates consistently transition successfully to primary school — academically confident, emotionally independent and with a genuine love of learning that lasts.

Rich Enrichment

Music, piano, guitar, African dance, art, gardening, physical education and more — woven into daily school life as essentials, not optional extras.

Meet & Connect

We take time to understand each child individually before they join us. We may invite you and your child to a brief settling-in visit so your child can begin to become familiar with their classroom, their teachers and their new environment before their first full day.

Once your child's place is confirmed, we will walk you through the registration documentation, fees, school policies and everything you and your child need for a smooth, happy and confident first day at Merry Journey.

Is transportation available?+
Please contact our team directly for current information about transportation arrangements.
Do you accept children mid-year?+
Yes. We welcome applications throughout the academic year, subject to available places. If your child is ready to join us, please do not wait — reach out and we will do our best to accommodate you.
How does settling in work?+
We take settling in seriously. Before your child's first full day, we may invite you to a brief settling-in visit so your child can begin to explore their classroom and build familiarity with their teachers and environment. Our experienced team will guide you through the process every step of the way.
What happens if my child cries at drop-off?+
This is completely normal, especially in the early weeks, and our teachers are experienced in supporting children through the settling-in transition. We will keep you informed and always contact you if we have any concerns. Most children settle quickly once they are engaged in the environment.
Do you accept children who are not yet toilet trained?+
Yes. We understand that toilet training is a developmental milestone that happens at different times for different children. Our team supports children with nappy changes and toilet training in a patient, respectful and dignified way. Please speak to us about your child's specific needs.
Are your teachers Montessori trained?+
Yes. Our teachers are trained Montessori guides, qualified and experienced in authentic Montessori philosophy and practice. Ongoing professional development is an important part of how we maintain the quality of our teaching and care.
What curriculum do you follow?+
We follow an integrated three-curriculum approach — Montessori, British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the Ghanaian early childhood curriculum. This gives children rich Montessori learning alongside strong academic preparation and cultural grounding.
How large are the classes?+
Class sizes are kept deliberately small to ensure every child receives the individual attention they deserve. We maintain a 1:4 teacher-to-child ratio across our classes so that no child is overlooked.
What is the teacher-to-child ratio?+
We maintain a 1:4 teacher-to-child ratio. This is significantly lower than many schools and is one of the reasons our children receive such focused, individualised attention and care throughout the day.
Do you offer after-school care?+
Please contact us directly for current information about extended hours and after-school care options. Availability may vary by age group and term. Our team will be happy to discuss what works best for your family.
