The Maria Montessori philosophy concentrates on developing in our children a true love of learning.

Dr Montessori saw that children did not in fact need to be ‘taught’, but that learning was a natural process – something we are born with that helps us to find a sense of excitement, meaning and purpose in our lives. Children have an innate sensitivity towards their own development. What we so often call play is a young child’s work, and it is by giving children increasing independence to work within their environment that we allow them to maximise their development.

At Living Spring Montessori, we offer each child an environment rich in opportunities for exploration and discovery; within which they can fulfil their developmental potential- both as an individual and as a member of the group. We aim to serve the immediate needs of children in our care, whilst providing them with a foundation for the future.

In this they are helped by the sensitivity of our staff, whose expertise lies in knowing the interests and abilities of each child and in ensuring that they are challenged and nurtured as individuals.
