The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is definitely stepping up to be involved as much as possible in the life of her son with husband Prince William, Prince George.

According to a report from The Irish Independent, the two-year-old prince started nursery at Westacre Montessori School early this month. Both Kate and William want to make sure that George will grow up normally just like any children would, and they even think that having the little one's friends over would be great.

"Kate and William will be getting involved in Prince George's nursery life," a source reported to Bella magazine, according to The Independent. The source continued that the royal parents don't want their child to feel "isolated and different from the other children," which is why George may soon have a lot of play dates.

William and Kate are open to socializing with their tot's classmates' parents, but that doesn't mean the royalty treatment will end. According to the source, security checks will still be performed on parents of George's classmates coming to the Norfolk estate for a visit.

The Duchess of Cambridge only wants to make sure that George will have a happy childhood, just like what she had.

Chron.com showcases a series of Kate's childhood photos, which suggest that she indeed had a wonderful childhood. At age three, Kate already learned how to climb when the family was on vacation in the Lake District.

Kate and her younger sister, Pippa, were part of the local Brownies club, which gave them the opportunity to go on field trips, do some needlework, play sports, and earn badges.

Apparently, Kate had wonderful adventures as a child and it's only right that she wants the same for Prince George.

The Montessori nursery offers a different teaching method to kids, making sure they learn how to be independent. Kate and William reportedly thought that it is important for George to learn how to be on his own as he grows up.
