MONTESSORI PRE-SCHOOL

olds from 8.30 a.m. to 1.00 p.m.The class is divided
into sections where the children can progress at their own pace.

The work is mainly on a one-to-one basis with the children starting off in the ‘Practical Life Area’ and then progressing to other areas such as sensorial, language, number work and cultural subjects.
