Montessori
In Little Feat Montessori we
provide a warm, safe and welcoming environment in which your child
is given the opportunities to develop their independence.
Through practical life the children learn to master everyday tasks
including spooning, pouring, threading and matching. This develops
their confidence and makes them more able bodied.
Sensorial develops the fine senses
and is also an early introduction to maths. The children find the
work fun and interesting and the early maths work is of great benefit
to them when they go on to "Big School".
We bring the outside world into the
classroom in a simple way through our nature table. In our cultural
studies we learn about the world in a very "hands on"
concrete way e.g. matching cards of plants, animals and also jigsaws
of flora and fauna showing the parts of the plant. In this class
we give an introduction to geography, including continents and cultures.
But we're not all work and no play as we make time
for Arts & Crafts, free play and also dancing and drama is
taught by qualified instructors.
Afterschool
Many of our
children who have graduated on to "Big School" come
back to us in the afternoons where they have a hot meal, they
are supervised doing their homework, and they get to see the familiar
faces of old friends. We find that for many children this continuity
makes the transition to Primary School a little easier.
