Class stucture
Our Montessori classes are a relaxed space to come spend time playing and learning alongside your child in a thoughtfully prepared environment. We focus on connection, collaboration and community.
​
When the children arrive they can get straight into playing. We ask that children are either barefoot or in socks with grips or indoor shoes to prevent slips but also to keep our environment nice and clean for everyone.
​
We encourage the children to jump right into exploring the environment and activities.
Our trained Montessori Teacher is there to guide the session and collaborate with you and your child. Each activity in class is carefully prepared each week and after a few sessions we are able to introduce activities which really reflect the interests of the different children.
​
Each session has a loose structure such as:
Arrive and change shoes
Free play
Small snack prepared with the children ( snack is free flow so the children can access the independent snack table throughout the whole session)
Circle time is held occationally and this is where we explore familiar songs or a focus on particular group learning activities/ Birthday celebrations/ Sharing family events.
​
We are always able to adjust our sessions based on the group of children in the session.​
Snack
Examples of snacks:
Cutting strawberries with a cutter
Slicing and peeling bananas
Using an apple slicer
Spreading spread on crackers
Making own houmous
Peeling own satsumas
Making Juice with a manual juicer and satsumas
​
With snack preparations done with the children we focus on practical life skills such as slicing , peeling ,spreading and washing up after snack. These skills all support your child's independence and has the added bonus of promoting fine motor skills, concentration and hand eye coordination.
​
Please do tell the staff if you or your child has any allergies so that we can be sure to remove the allergen from our snack preparation area.
​
Families are very welcome to bring their own snacks to class - Please just ensure the snacks do not contain nuts.
