The Montessori Approach
Working with the Montessori approach, our nursery is carefully planned to provide a safe and structured environment in which children are free to explore and learn. Our Montessori based classrooms include provision for the child’s development in the following six areas:✓ Practical life✓ Sensorial materials✓ Language✓ Mathematics✓ Culture✓ Gross motor skills
Dr. Maria Montessori was one of the most important early years educators of the twentieth century, and the innovator of classroom practice and ideas which have had a profound influence on the education of young children the world over. Dr. Montessori’s legacy is a method of education which combines a philosophy of freedom and self-development for children, with a practical approach to learning. The essence of Montessori education is that every child is treated with respect and given the freedom, within a carefully prepared and structured environment, to develop naturally at their own pace.
The Montessori approach aims to gently and sympathetically encourage your child to realise his or her maximum learning potential by guidance through the Montessori materials.
