Learn how Prince William and his wife prepare their child for kindergarten

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked into a school close to home, with affordable tuition and a Montessori education.

Coming from an aristocratic family, Prince William, like many other parents, likes to share about his children, both their lives and their studies.

Princess Kate once revealed that Prince George especially loves swimming and bathing him every day is not easy. Kate often takes the little prince swimming at Buckingham Palace. On April 8, father of two William showed off his daughter Charlotte's latest milestone. She is interested in sports, especially football.

“She’s a fantastic player,” the second in line to the British throne told former professional footballer Paul Elliott over lunch at London’s Wembley Stadium. “I held Charlotte’s hand and she kicked the ball. It was a sweet moment.”

The 11-month-old princess is said to share her father's love of football. According to People, the Duke of Cambridge, who was the chairman of the English Football Association (FA), is known to be a football fan. May 2 will be the first birthday of the British Prince's daughter and she will soon be going to kindergarten like her brother.

Keeping the young prince and princess living a normal life, away from excessive media scrutiny, is one of William and his wife's biggest concerns. They hope their children will spend their first years of school at a school in Norfolk. When asked about choosing a kindergarten for the two young members, a royal source shared: "The Duke and Duchess looked at a few places and found Westacre Montessori to be the best choice for George. They felt everything - the education, teachers and location - was ideal for the little prince."

In January, Prince George, 2, started attending Westacre Montessori School not far from home. Earlier, Kensington Palace quoted a school spokesman in a press release saying: "We are looking forward to welcoming our little prince. Here, George will have a special experience, similar to the other children." Each hour of Prince William's son's lessons costs nearly 47 USD a day, cheaper than many schools in London, BBC said. George will attend school several days a week.

Westacre Montessori School is located on a quiet road, ensuring Prince George's privacy. It was founded in 1993 in a nearby village of the same name and moved to a former chapel about 15 years ago. It has a capacity of about 20 pupils at a time and is currently run by Rosie Reynolds, 53, the Express reported.

At Westacre Montessori, students play and learn in a large, brightly colored room decorated with children's artwork. Outside, there is a playground with artificial grass, picnic tables, slides, plastic chairs, and many toy cars.

Like his father and uncle, Prince Harry, the George brothers were sent to a Montessori school. This is a pedagogical method of educating children based on the research and experience of Italian physician and educator, Maria Montessori. The outstanding feature of Montessori is the emphasis on the role of independence and freedom (within a permissible framework) in the formation of a child's personality. In addition, this method respects the child's natural psychological development, as well as fully equips students with advanced and modern scientific and technological knowledge.

According to Forbes, Prince William is the first young royal to attend kindergarten outside the palace. Before that, royals had a tradition of hiring private tutors and studying at home. Queen Elizabeth II and her son, Prince Charles, also home-schooled. Then the late Princess Diana, a former kindergarten teacher, changed this because she believed William needed to be educated and develop alongside his peers.
