The Pier Head Preparatory Montessori School
WE ARE OPEN
Established in 2009, initially opening as a Montessori Pre School we then registered to provide primary education in 2010 with our first primary admissions in September 2011. Following the five areas of learning in Montessori as well as the seven areas of learning in EYFS.
We use the Montessori Method of Horizontal Teaching grouping the children into three classes:
-
Pre-School 1-5yrs
With each class following their own timetable, days are structured by staff to allow free choices of activities whilst also taking into account individual needs and abilities.
We have found that with our qualified staff, knowing both curriculums, that it is possible to help your child achieve goals within each area of learning.
Our aim is to provide a happy, caring and secure environment for children aged 1-5, recognizing that your child’s needs and safety are paramount, we are committed to providing the highest standard of childcare and education.
