How Montessori works

Individual attention

Children are known well and introduced gently to the classroom, its materials and daily routines.

A love of learning

Children experience, experiment and make discoveries, building confidence in their own abilities.

Home-cooked food

Fresh, balanced and varied meals are prepared in our own kitchens, with most dietary needs accommodated.
