At this exciting stage the children are introduced to the Montessori Method in its simplest form. Pre Montessori gives the children the opportunity to have fun and develop new skills through informal play and a wide range of fun activities. In this room the children learn the basics of Montessori work, thus improving concentration and the gross and fine motor skills.
