About Nature's Way Montessori
Nature’s Way Montessori is run by Jessica Timcke and Amy Wolff, two sisters who have a passion for natural growth and the positive development of children. Both have their own young families and live in the area and can therefor relate to the everyday challenges and want the best opportunities for their children.
We believe our school is situated in the perfect environment for our young ones to explore, discover and grow. The outdoor area is full of challenging and stimulating play apparatus with manicured gardens and a farmyard on our doorstep.
Our classrooms are open plan with order and structure for interactive learning and play.
- We have small intimate classes where the staff-to-child ratio is 1:6 or 1:5 for individual attention.
- We accept children from 16 months to 6 years of age
- We are open Monday – Friday from 07:00 to 17:30
- We follow the ISASA three term school calendar
Our teachers are suitably qualified and love what they do. Meet the team.
We are an authentic Montessori Pre School and our environment is fully equipped with all of the Montessori materials. The curriculum and activities are based on these five foundational guiding areas of learning:
- Practical Life
- Maths
- Language
- Sensorial
- Cultural
Educating the whole child
The learning objectives for early childhood development include developing skills such as independence, fine motor muscles, language, concentration, problem-solving, visual discrimination, and physical coordination.
Daily living routines are at the foundation of the programs implemented and our children have the freedom to learn at their own pace.
The Montessori Core Principles are:
- Respect for the Child
- Sensitive Periods – identified and nurtured
- A prepared Environment
- Independence and Discovery
- A prepared directress
