Front gate – view from Collins Yard
Our Entrance corridor. We hang up the younger children’s coats, but as they get older, they learn to do it by themselves
This is the 1 year old classroom
We vary the layout of the room through out the year to evolve with the children.
Here some art resources in the section between the two classrooms (don’t worry, only the teachers access these!)
This is our Montessori room, for the older children
Our children learn to understand the “how” and the “why” with Montessori materials.
For example, the cylinder blocks allow children to learn visual discrimination of dimensions. Furthermore, the fine motor skills are an indirect preparation for writing by coordination of the fingers used to hold the pencil. Through the practice and refinement of voluntary movement, a child will learn to be able to fit the cylinders in a single precise movement.
