We value each child as a unique individual, and encourage their curiosity. We build on their knowledge and skills, and follow their interests when programming. Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving,
inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching and investigating.

Children learn the satisfaction of achieving through co-operation. They seek and try new challenges, make new discoveries, and happily celebrate their own efforts and achievements and those of others.They bring their diverse experiences, perspectives, expectations, knowledge and skills to their learning.

A strong sense of wellbeing provides children with confidence and optimism maximising their learning potential. It encourages their innate exploratory drive, a sense of agency and a desire to interact with responsive others. Wellbeing and a strong sense of connection, optimism and engagement enable children to develop a positive attitude to learning.

Educators help to develop children’s social skills by building trusting, responsive caring relationships with each child. Children develop  a sense of belonging, and self-esteem necessary for them to make meaningful connections with other children and adults.

The Montessori materials are designed to aid development with fine motor skills, eye-hand co-ordination, development of all the senses, literacy and numeracy. The materials are multi-sensory, sequential and self-correcting. These hands-on learning materials enable children to see and explore abstract concepts.

Montessori materials  lead to learning of abstract ideas. A child learns through his or her senses. By providing interrelated sensorial material, children are guided to correctly use the materials. They are carefully graded to enable  sequential learning experiences.  Children may choose which materials to use, and are guided to progress at their own pace.

Montessori education includes music, art, science, geography, and history. These enable the development of the child’s perception of his environment and the world. There are materials in the Sensorial area from which the child builds a base for these other activities. Music and art are means of communication and self-expression.

Children gain knowledge through the real experience of how to accomplish life skills in a purposeful way. Practical life education revolves around four areas: Caring for the Self, Caring for the Environment, Grace & Courtesy and Movement of Objects. Practical Life exercises teach the child sequencing, develop concentration and aid in language development.
