Rhymes & Rhythms

We aim to implement the teaching method of Maria Montessori and have included the five different areas of her approach in our classroom and curriculum.

Our practical life activities aim to help the child develop self-control, to look after him/herself independently and to be adaptable in his/her society. Practical life exercises also encourage the growth of the child's cognitive capacity, developing his/her intellect and concentration.

The sensorial area has a range of materials that encourage children to use their five senses to explore different sizes, textures, smells, colours, dimensions and weights. The majority of these materials are designed to encourage the child to correct their own errors independently.

Our methods and resources encourage children to develop an understanding of logic and order that allows mathematical minds to flourish. The Montessori materials that we provide are designed to help the child grasp concepts easily and quickly.

Learning language can be fun with sand paper letters and their sounds. These resources, amongst the many others available at our school, allow the child to concentrate on the learning of each important step in reading, writing and expression.

We provide all the necessary materials to learn about the earth, animal and plant kingdoms, life cycles and cultures across the world and our universe.

We have a pretend play area with a train set and a kitchen. Our comfortable reading area has a range of fun and engaging books for different levels. Children are encouraged to experiment with sounds using different musical instruments and play in the tent with their friends. We also have an outdoor play area for running feet and outdoor voices.
