How we teach
Our Curriculum
Montessori and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) share several common principles and values, even though they originate from different educational philosophies and frameworks.
We have created an environment in our nursery that fully support a child’s development.
1
Montessori Principles at the Core
Our teaching is inspired by Dr. Maria Montessori’s philosophy, focusing on independence, creativity, and love for learning. With carefully chosen materials, we encourage hands-on exploration that builds practical skills and emotional intelligence, preparing children for the world.
2
Early Development Through Purposeful Play
Recognising that the first six years are vital for brain growth, we create an environment rich in sensory activities. Through play, children build curiosity and a foundation for intellectual and personal growth, setting the stage for lifelong learning.
3
Embracing British Values and Respect
At Eilmar Montessori, we instill British values like mutual respect and tolerance. Our community encourages kindness, fairness, and understanding, helping children value diversity and work well with others.
4
Freedom with Responsibility
We offer children the freedom to make choices within a structured setting, fostering self-discipline and responsibility. This balance helps them grow into confident, respectful, and independent individuals.
