What We Offer
High quality educational services
Independence & COnfidence
Going to preschool is about building independence, self esteem and confidence. From choosing snack time, to managing our own shoes and coats, we foster the feelings of achievement self belief that help a child to grow and develop as an individual as well as simply learning numbers or letters.
Play vs learning
We often get asked about play. The answer is pretty straightfoward. Give a child the right material, show them how to explore it, and then learning becomes fun. Montessori doesnt structure the day or the activities, we structure the environment so that the child is free to lead their own learning, explore, ask, discover and learn. That is fun when you’re small!

The Montessori Method
Centred around an independent approach to learning
Montessori recognises that children do not see learning as “work”. They are naturally interested and curious and have spent their years prior to pre-school touching, exploring, tasting and poking everything they come across. Their natural desire to learn has seen them learn to walk, ride a bike, jump and talk. Montessori simply provides an environment and adults that guide this natural curiosity to provide self directed and self paced learning. The challenges of problem solving, the sharing of activities, and the exploration of the wider world, provide a rich and varied experience to stimulate eager minds in a joyful, independent, creative and responsible way. Montessori’s simple early goal is to instil a love of learning that will be lifelong.
