Philosophy
Time of Wonder Montessori School has a global philosophy always striving to incorporate elements from its immediate environment and around the world. Children plant bulbs in the Autumn, vegetables in the Spring and enjoy an ever changing nature table in the classroom. Children study Continents and stories about children from around the world. Children mix with children from other countries and learn about each other. We celebrate festivals from around the world and learn about our own countries unique geography and history.
We hope that this will not only be an education for your child but a 'lifetime experience' and we look forward to welcoming you at the school.
