The
Montessori Children's House
(Pre-School & Pre-Prep)
Our
Children's House offers specially designed environments for the
2.5 - 6 year old child. Great emphasis is put on warm, kind and
caring relationships, giving our children as sense of belonging
in a ‘home from home’, as they make their first steps out into the
wider world.
Our
beautiful and carefully prepared classroom welcomes children with
activities on low level shelves which invite your child to learn
through hands-on materials, allowing learning through physical manipulation.
This gives your child ample opportunity to playfully explore, hereby
unconsciously gaining a deeply rooted understanding of academic
concepts before gradually giving way to developing the use of abstract
thought, reasoning and learning.

Beautifully
crafted Montessori activities are graded from simple to complex,
allowing each child to engage in activities which provide the right
level of challenge and lead to concentration. The inbuilt control
of error allows the child to correct himself, hereby learning from
a very young age that mistakes are a means of learning, developing
into fear free learner personalities with a deep understanding of
their own talents.
'The
activities at RH are numerous and wide-ranging offering a huge variety
of experiences. Montessori activities sit on the shelves alongside
activities that are made or sourced by teachers to provide stimulating
alternatives or extensions..'

The
Rose House Montessori curriculum for the early years fullymeets
the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS),
which sets statutory standards on how and what every child will
be learning to support their healthy development.

Our care
of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn
things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that
light which is called intelligence. Dr Maria Montessori
During their time in the Montessori Children's
House, using the graded, hands-on Montessori apparatus, children
will learn to read and write and have the abilty to carry out all
basic maths equations. Having attended our Montessori Children’s
House, children will have achieved all of the relevant learning
and stepping stones to enable them to transfer either into our Montessori
Elementary community or a year 2 class in mainstream education.
'The
teachers were outstanding in the warm and considerate way they communicated
with the children during the day. Children’s boundaries were respected,
and children were listened to carefully. Children were given time
to talk and express their views and all of the children were given
care and attention. The teaching team are consistent in their approach
which creates an atmosphere of care and a sense of security for
the children.'Collaborative
