The Abba?s Orchard was started in 1998 on the plateaus of Bukidnon with 12 Casa (pre-school) children. From the very beginning, it espoused the principles and ideals of one of the more prominent educators of our time, Dr Maria Montessori. It was envisioned as an orchard of the Abba Father, where teachers are privileged gardeners who nurture children to become the fulfilment of their chosen roles.
