The environment is prepared in such a way as to be inviting and attractive. It is comfortable, clean and orderly and it provides a secure base from which children can explore and develop. The Pre School is open from Monday to Friday from 08.45 – 12.15pm. Term Time Only http://www.loveandlearnmontessori.co.uk/staff.html http://www.loveandlearnmontessori.co.uk/staff.html Tue, 30 Mar 2010 09:00:00 GMT Love and Learn has a professional, enthusiastic team. Teaching can take place in small groups and on a one to one basis. The teachers role consists of creating and maintaining the children’s environment, observing the children and planning for their individual needs. The teacher is always available to provide, support, guidance and love during the child’s seperation from their parents. A key worker system is used so each child has a primary care giver while in our setting. The Manager and Principle of Love and Learn is: Rebecca Holland BA Honors, International Mont Diploma in Early Years, International Mont Diploma in Infant Toddler. “Since graduating from Montessori Centre International it has been my dream to open a Montessori Pre School. I am passionate about creating the perfect environment for children to develop and most importantly to feel valued, secure and loved. I hope that during your child’s time spent at the setting they will have fun,they will become sociable beings, they will learn at their own individual pace and they will grow to be kind caring and respectful children” The Deputy Manager of Love and Learn is: Jessica Holland International Mont Diploma in Early Childhood. Working towards BA in Primary Education “My time studying at Montessori Centre International highlighted how important a child centred setting is. Children will learn more if the setting is created for their needs. This is exactly the philosophy behind Love and Learn Montessori Pre School. The independence that children gain from being part of a Montessori setting is in my opinion invaluable. It helps develop a child’s positive self image and self esteem and most importantly it is a life long tool.” http://www.loveandlearnmontessori.co.uk/montessori.html http://www.loveandlearnmontessori.co.uk/montessori.html Tue, 30 Mar 2010 09:00:00 GMT A Montessori Pre School is a stimulating child orientated environment. The essence of Montessori lies in children’s freedom to learn and develop at their own speed. The environment tends to be calm and peaceful because the children are happy learning at their own pace. In a Montessori Pre School the child’s freedom, dignity and independence are of paramount importance. The children are free to help themselves to the learning materials displayed on child sized shelves. They choose the materials they wish to work with and return them to their original place when they are finished. In a classroom where everything is reliable and orderly children can go about their activities freely without having to ask for items or wait for the teacher to give permission. This helps to develop a child’s independence and self esteem. A Montessori classroom consists of different ages. Often the younger children will learn through watching their older peers. The children are encouraged to help and respect each other and you will often find a great sense of community. http://www.loveandlearnmontessori.co.uk/loveandlearn.html http://www.loveandlearnmontessori.co.uk/loveandlearn.html Tue, 30 Mar 2010 09:00:00 GMT The name “Love and Learn” illustrates exactly what we are aiming to offer the children that join our setting. The word “Love” is about the children joining us and making special friendships and relationships. Love is also about the children feeling comfortable in their environment and respecting and looking after their classroom, the people and the materials within it. The word “learn” is about the children being given the opportunity to work with wonderful learning materials and learn at their own pace. We hope that the children will enjoy learning with the specialized Montessori materials and grow to become the masters of their own learning. Our aim is to create a happy, consistent environment to help children develop emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically. We take a completely holistic approach and neither area of development is more important than the other. Each child will feel safe and secure in an environment that is designed for them and caters for their individaul needs. Love and Learn believe in children becoming “citizens of the world”. We welcome children from all backgrounds, faiths and cultures. The children who join our setting will learn about the world that we live in and the different countries and cultures that exist within it.. http://www.loveandlearnmontessori.co.uk/ http://www.loveandlearnmontessori.co.uk/ Tue, 30 Mar 2010 09:00:00 GMT If you are looking for a nursery or pre school for your loved one to enjoy and develop in, then Love and Learn are for you.
