Our Programs
Parent Toddler Program (PTP)
​Our Parent Toddler Program (PTP) is a weekly two-hour session specifically designed to cater to your child's increasing desire for independence and enthusiasm for learning. Led by an experienced Montessori guide, the program offers parents and caregivers the opportunity to experience and share the Montessori philosophy of education with their children. It lays the foundations for future learning by developing a broad range of skills to foster independence, self-discipline, and concentration while also educating the senses (e.g., visual, auditory, tactile). The program responds to the child's absorbent mind and strong sense of order, which is particular to this age group.
A Montessori Playgroup
By participating in the Parent Toddler Program, you and your child will embark on a journey that fosters independence, self-discipline, and a lifelong love of learning, all within a supportive and nurturing environment.
Children attend with a parent or caregiver from the time they are walking independently and confidently, typically from twelve to eighteen months until they turn three. The prepared environment is specifically set up to foster your child's growing independence, with child-sized furniture and developmentally appropriate equipment and activities. The program reflects the needs of the child in many different areas, supporting parents in understanding the developmental needs of their young children.

Each session begins with children being encouraged to greet the Directress by shaking hands and facing any other people in attendance before greeting them with 'hello' or 'good morning'. This practice fosters social interaction and a sense of community among participants.​

Our PTP aims to engage parents in furthering their understanding of Montessori education, its philosophy, and application. Through discussion, participation, and observation, the program supports parents in understanding the developmental needs of their young children, providing a holistic approach to early childhood education.
Sessions run on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in our Cottage with Directress Sandra.
