🔺Constructive Triangles 🔺

The Constructive Triangles are beautiful Montessori material designed to help children explore how different triangles can be combined to create a variety of geometric shapes. Through hands-on discovery, children develop deeper understanding of geometry while strengthening their spatial awareness, problem solving skills, concentration, and logical thinking.

'Hands create the foundation for the mind to understand '.

🐞 Ladybird's growing in our Nursery 🐞

We are learning all about ladybirds and their lifecycle. For children, keep the ladybirds life cycle highly visual, tactile, and simple. Focus on four stages: tiny eggs, a hungry larva (caterpillar-like), a sleeping pupa shell, and the flying adult. Children learn best through active play and sensory exploration.

'There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature, to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony, and the beauty in nature.'
Maria Montessori

Little hands, big discoveries! 💗

Children learn best through meaningful, hand-on experiences using a wide range of materials found within their environment. By exploring natural, recycled, open-ended, and everyday resources, children are encouraged to investigate, create, problem-solve, and develop their curiosity.

"What the hand does, the mind remembers" Maria Montessori

Bay Tree had a very special visit from the zoo lab today! 🐍🕷️🐸
The children were very excited to explore and learn about l the animals and insects. They were completely fascinated; observing and waiting very patiently to hold and touch them. 💚
