My name is Faheema Amojee. I am a mom to 4 girls. I studied for my Montessori Diploma in 2005. I have also studied and completed an Early Childhood Development course through Unisa. So I have a qualification in both Montessori and the traditional method of teaching. I have been teaching in the Umhlanga area for the past 10 years. I am also the owner of Creative Minds, an Arts and Crafts program that we offer at pre-schools as an extra-mural.
Thank you for helping my child Nikhil prepare for primary school.
Every morning we are greeted with warmth and professionalism
Faheema has an incredible team behind her who go above and Beyond to create the perfect balance between play and academics
They have been incredible partners over the past 3 years for Nikhil's growth and development and I’m proud to say he passed his assessments to enter primary school thanks to Gateway Montessori!
Excellent preschool with
Great environment for little children. Always improving with its facilities for the thriving young individuals. Friendly teachers that are always willing to help. Great school to send your children too.
Every day, my daughter came home excited, sharing new words, new activities, and new discoveries. Watching her grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity has been the most beautiful journey. The Montessori approach really brought out the best in her, encouraging her to explore, make choices, solve problems, and express herself.
The environment is calm, structured, and enriching. The classrooms are clean and thoughtfully prepared, and the materials keep the children engaged in meaningful learning. Communication from the staff has always been clear and supportive, making me feel involved in her progress.
Gateway Montessori is more than a school. It's a community that celebrates each child’s unique path. I am grateful for the guidance, the warmth, and the strong foundation they have given my daughter. I couldn’t have chosen a better place for her early years.
Highly recommended to any parent who wants their child to feel loved, supported, and inspired every single day.
It was a school that was there for us as a family during a very difficult time just after the lock down, so we were looking for a creche that had few kids. It was absolutely an amazing experience. Meals were provided, my child really thrived alot and will forever be grateful to teacher Faheema. My son is really doing very well in his new school. He was with teacher Faheema from 2020 for 3 years. And we still have a good relationship up to now.
shaping confident, compassionate and self-motivated learners who are equipped with the skills to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
