Cottage by the sea is a Reggio-inspired educational space for children, shaped by the rhythms of nature and coastal life. Here, children play, learn, and grow in an environment that gently nurtures their natural development —
through curiosity, exploration, and meaningful connections with the world around them.
Co-playing, or Daycare. 2.5-5 years old
A full, nurturing day filled with rest, a warm homemade lunch, long outdoor walks, and joyful beach play alongside other children. All within a caring, attentive environment where every child is truly seen, respected, and valued as an individual.
Co-learning, or Preschool. 5-7 years old
This is the age when curiosity for “grown-up” activities naturally begins to blossom — reading, writing, and early math. By following this intrinsic interest through play, children gently and confidently prepare for school — without the need to sit dow all day.
What makes us different
New discoveries every day
Our approach is rooted in children’s natural curiosity and their innate desire to explore the world around them — something we gently nurture and develop through play. Rather than imposing a fixed agenda, we follow each child’s interests and transform them into meaningful learning opportunities.
Mixed-age group
We have a mixed-age group, while activities are thoughtfully adapted for younger and older children. In this multi-age environment, older children learn to care for the younger ones and naturally take on mentoring roles, while younger children learn with ease by observing and engaging with peers close to their age.
Cool adults
We choose our team not only for their qualifications, but for their experience, character, and genuine passion. Bright, engaged, and deeply attuned to the world of childhood — these are the qualities that define our educators.
First friendships
We place a strong emphasis on “soft skills” — communication, social interaction, and emotional awareness. This helps children not just share the same space, but build genuine friendships and navigate meaningful social experiences.
Caring for little bodies — and giving parents a chance to recharge
Nutritious meals prepared on-site or thoughtfully delivered — tried, tested, and enjoyed by children in our other schools.
Enriching outdoor experiences
The beach, the park, and the mountains become the best playground — and a truly inspiring learning environment. “Cottage” is located in Pržno for a reason. Here, we have the opportunity to spend our days in Miločer Park, breathe in the fresh pine-scented air, and enjoy sunny playtime on some of Montenegro’s most beautiful beaches.
