The nursery strives to cultivate children's inherent confidence and enthusiasm for learning within a secure and stimulating environment, treating each child as a unique individual. The Montessori teaching approach, developed by Maria Montessori, focuses on empowering children to lead their own learning journey. Educators at Horsham Montessori create an environment rich with engaging materials, allowing children to explore at their own pace and cultivate deep concentration. The self-correcting nature of the Montessori materials enables children to learn through independent discovery, fostering problem-solving skills. The curriculum encompasses practical life, sensorial, mathematics, language, and culture, all designed to align with children's interests and developmental stages. Children can enrol from the age of two, with an initial period of observation to acclimate and learn from their peers. Older children joining the nursery are encouraged to attend afternoon sessions to maximise the benefits of the Montessori experience in a calmer setting, aligning with Maria Montessori's belief in the profound importance of early childhood learning. Our ethos Horsham Montessori is dedicated to delivering the Montessori approach, focusing on empowering children to lead their own learning and cultivate confidence and enthusiasm. They believe in involving parents as co-educators and utilise self-correcting materials to foster independent discovery, problem-solving, and concentration within a framework of practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics, and cultural activities aligned with children's developmental stages. What it's like Children arrive with confidence and are politely greeted by staff. They are independent learners with highly positive attitudes to learning, exploring different resources and reminding each other to put them away. The manager and staff use a nearby allotment to deliver their well-planned curriculum, teaching children about growth and plants, and supporting them to become confident communicators.
