Children's House

An Authentic Montessori Environment
(3 to 5 years)

At Mont21, we know these early years are when children importantly need to develop the characteristics of independence, self-confidence and social awareness as well as acquiring a firm foundation for later learning.

​

The children follow the long established and proven Montessori curriculum including:

​​

• Practical Life

• Sensorial

• Language

• Mathematics

• Understanding of the World

​

The children also enjoy Art and Design, Music & Movement, Construction, Physical Education, Cookery, Gardening, Forest School and Yoga.

​

The children are encouraged to do things for themselves and have freedom of choice under the guidance and with the support of their own designated Montessori Directress. There is a low staff to child ratio of 1:8 which provides personalised care and nurturing. 

​

The class is a hive of activity but with a sense of calmness and purposefulness that is not ordinarily found in this young age group.

​

After arrival and circle time, the children enjoy a 3 hour work cycle where they are free to choose an activity from the shelves, to do art or messy play in the garden and to take a healthy snack which is available throughout the morning. 

In the afternoons, the children enjoy practical hands-on activities such as cookery, art, gardening, a fun science experiment, coding or Yoga under the trees in the garden.

​​

The children are carefully observed and their progress recorded on a daily basis in their own digital learning journal. 

We consider that learning should be fun and enjoyable so that each child reaches their true potential, academically, socially and physically.
