My name is Silvia Chalaris, and I am the Centre Director at Alderley Montessori. Originally from Madrid, my professional journey commenced as a qualified primary education teacher however once I set foot in Early Years, I knew it was where I belonged. I love how each day can bring different learning opportunities, the magical environments, and the awe and wonder that it involves.

At Alderley, we are passionate about alternative, holistic, and child-led pedagogies—like Montessori—and hold a belief that children flourish when they are listened to and respected. As a team, we strongly believe that quality Early Years education is the foundation upon which a child’s future is built, and I look forward to working closely with you and your children in these formative years
