The early years are the most formative years in a child’s life. Children explore the world around them, learn skills for socializing, develop positive relationships and learn to communicate in different of situations. In the Early Years Department at Canon Andrea Mwarka School, we believe that children need a solid foundation on which all future learning can be based.

The basics of Montessori are applied in Nursery and Reception. We provide an environment in which children will thrive. All of our teachers are encourage to grow in their understanding of early years education and consider that Montessori Early Years believes that:

1. Each child is deserving of respect in an environment that accommodates to each child’s individual strengths and capabilities.
2. Every child is entitled to a positive learning environment based on each child’s developmental level, strengths, needs, interests and experiences and values each child as an individual
3. Each child is deserving of respect that cherishes creative ideas and expressions.
4. Create a happy and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable to discover and achieve their full potential.
5. Help children develop self-confidence and self esteem.
6. Enhance concentration skills and establish good work habits.
7. Allow children to discover the joy of learning
8. Stimulate growth by using materials and activities that encourage each child to explore, learn and solve problems
9. Develop essential social skills through critical thinking, independence and cooperation.
