Our story

About Splendour

A warm Montessori community in Rugando, Kigali — where young children are trusted, respected and helped to shine.

Who we are

Splendour Montessori International Learning Center opened its doors in 2025 at KG 22 6 Avenue, Rugando, with one simple conviction: young children learn best when they are trusted, respected and given a beautiful environment to explore.

We serve children from 18 months to 6 years. Our Montessori-trained guides prepare each classroom with authentic materials, then step back to observe, guide and encourage — so every child can grow in independence, concentration and kindness at their own pace.
