Montessori playgroup

Details

A Montessori playgroup is a group of children and their parents who come together to participate in developmentally appropriate activities that are based on the principles of the Montessori method. These activities are designed to support children’s physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development, and are typically hands-on and interactive.

Our Montessori playgroups are led by a AMI trained Montessori educator, who guides children and parents through the activities and provides support and guidance as needed. The goal of our Montessori playgroup is to provide children with a positive and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and develop their full potential.

Benefits of the montessori playgroup for children and parents

Montessori playgroups offer a wide range of benefits for children and their parents. They provide children with developmentally appropriate activities that support their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. At the same time, Montessori playgroups introduce children to a variety of educational concepts and materials in a hands-on and interactive way, encouraging their natural curiosity and love of learning. Montessori playgroups also provide young children with an opportunity to interact with other children and adults in a supportive and nurturing environment, helping them learn to socialize and make friends. For parents, Montessori playgroups offer an opportunity to learn about the Montessori approach to parenting and child development, and receive support and guidance on parenting issues and challenges. Additionally, Montessori playgroups can help build a sense of community among families and provide an opportunity for parents to connect with other like-minded parents.
