Pre-School:
The Pre-School consists of one toddler class and
two pre-school classes. In the pre-school we concentrate on
teaching using the Montessori method. Thus multi-age mix is
used within the two pre-school classes - this means that the
ages in each class are from 3-6 years which allows for both
individual and social development. The Montessori philosophy
is more easily understood by the following line: "Children
learn by a process of discovery rather than being taught by
rote".
