Mellowes Montessori

Montessori is run by a qualified and experienced teacher.  The children work with specialised equipment which is graded in difficulty, self-correction and designed for success.

In the classroom children work at their own pace and master basic skills at their own level of ability and therefore develop a love of learning.

Practical life: care of self and the environment.

Sensorial materials: interesting exercises for learning trough sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste.

Mathematics materials: step by step use of Rods, Beads, Spindles and Cubes that can be used to learn how to count.

Language Materials: developing a child’s skill through the use of Letters, Alphabet, Books, Story and Circle time.

Culture subjects: developing an understanding of Geography, History, Nature study, Science, Art and Music through materials and activities.

Creative Arts & Crafts: Learning through the use of a broad range of materials.

Music and Dance: an introduction to instruments and the various forms of dance.

Nature and Garden: A hands on approach to planting and caring for our own Flowers, Fruit and Vegetables.

Our graduation marks the end of the Montessori year. All parents and families are invited to a special day where children are presented with a certificate to mark all their achievements and hard work during the year. This will be the time for parents to take that special photo.
