Little Kidz Montessori Story – Kidz Montessori Day Nursery

Our Montessori Story

Kidz Montessori Day Nurseries strives:

To provide a calming atmosphere – our walls and floors are neutrally coloured i.e. beige, cream and grey.
To help children learn to think from a basis of truth – all pictures show ‘real life’ people, objects, scenes (no cartoons) and are placed at children’s eye level.
Where possible and practical, materials are real and not pretend, e.g. children eat using real knives, forks and plates (not plastic).
Our children are more independent as they are encouraged not only to do things for themselves but also to think for themselves.
All materials are accessible to the children and are the right size for their small hands to use in order to engage purposeful activity.

By limiting the number of resources on display at any one time, the children find they can choose precisely what they want to play with and not be ‘confused’ by too many objects at the same time. This allows for different resources and materials to be rotated on a regular basis.

Within this environment, the children not only have the freedom to choose what they want to work with but also the freedom to complete it in their own time. When children work without interruption, they can develop concentration and inner harmony.

We encourage practical skills e.g. putting on and taking off shoes, clearing tables etc to teach the children how to take care of themselves and their environment so that as they grow, not only in confidence and self-respect, they also learn to respect others.

There are no limits to achievement in the Montessori environment. Each child is treated as an individual and moves onto the next stage as and when they are ready.
