đżÂ Learning Extends Beyond the Classroom
At Malone, weâre excited to further expand our support and provision for school-age children (ages 4â10) through a wide range of enriching, small-group sessions. While many of our programmes run after school, weâre also introducing daytime sessionsâperfect for families who home educate or whose children attend school on a flexible basis.
Whether your child is a gifted learner seeking challenge, or benefits from additional support in areas like literacy, maths, social skills, or executive functioning, our sessions are thoughtfully designed to meet their unique needs, following the Montessori approach of progressing at each childâs natural pace.
You can choose to sign up for individual sessions that run weekly by term, or attend across several days to experience the full breadth of learning opportunities on offerâall delivered in our nurturing, nature-rich forest environment.
Sessions are overseen by our in-house Educational Psychologist and Early Years Specialist, and delivered by a passionate team of experienced educators and SEN professionals.
