Montessori
The Montessori room is similar to the Pre montessori Room, but the materials are more advanced to cater for the needs of the child and is more age specific. As the children are preparing for big school,reading, writing and maths are covered giving your child the best possible start to their education. All our Montessori teachers carry the HETAC Level 8 Degree in Montessori Education. Games and constructive play are also done in this fun,loving environment to help the child engage in social interaction.
