Preschool (approx 2 – 3 years)
This room is devised to offer our Preschool children a fun learning environment that equips them with skills and knowledge that will be used in the Montessori room. The children are given a gentle introduction to the Montessori methods of teaching, and works on skills such as developing concentration span, and encouraging independence.
Staff develop activity plans around children’s interests and stages of development. The ratio in this room is 1 adult to 6 children.
