Welcome
A home-from-home where every child is valued
Children at Apple Tots are placed in multi-age classrooms. Younger children are motivated to move ahead by watching the older children, while older children reinforce their own learning by helping the younger ones. The result is a nurturing, home-like atmosphere.
Our programme is respectful of each child, who is free to learn independently and at their own pace. We honour the diverse backgrounds, cultures and traditions our families come from, and our creative curriculum lets children express themselves through art, dance, music and singing.
What we stand for
Love. Play. Learn.
Love
Each child has a key person who builds a strong relationship with them. Small classes mean every child gets that extra special attention.
Play
Song, dance, gardening, chickens to feed and plenty of outdoor time. Children learn effortlessly when they are enjoying themselves.
Learn
The five areas of the Montessori curriculum awaken a love of learning, guided by dedicated, qualified teachers.
Our little farmyard
Growing a love for the natural world
At Apple Tots we delight in our own natural little farmyard. The earth, her seasons, plants and creatures inform our studies, and our indoor and outdoor setting gives children a gentle sense of wonder. Children are actively involved in building a better environment for themselves and our planet.
“It is not enough for the teacher to love the child. She must first love and understand the universe. She must prepare herself, and truly work at it.”
Maria Montessori
