The Butterfly Preschool

🌱 Little minds grow fast with around 90% of a child’s brain development completed by the age of five. These early years matter which is why it’s so important to make sure a child has high quality education from the start, so they’re set up for life. 🧑‍🏫

Our aim is for all children to leave us having achieved all their early-learning goals and to have developed into well rounded individuals, enabling them to integrate into school life and thrive in the future. 💫🦋

Our children held the sweetest charity bake sale this week, raising money for BBC Children in Need and what a success it was! 💛🍰🧁🍪

Despite the wet weather, the smiles were bright and the treats were delicious. We are so proud of our little bakers and helpers! 👩‍🍳✨

A huge thank you to all the parents who baked, donated, and supported this wonderful cause. Your kindness will make such a difference.

We're proud to nurture young minds using the core Montessori principles:

👧 Respect for the child - honouring each child's individuality and desire to learn, allowing them to progress at their own pace
🧠 The absorbent mind - their ability to absorb information from their environment during their early years
🗣 Sensitive periods - a time in a child's development when they are particularly receptive to learning specific skills, such as language or order
🧸 The prepared environment - our classrooms are carefully designed to encourage exploration. They are calm spaces and child-sized
👩‍🏫 Self-education - children learn best through their own activity and self-directed exploration.

🪔 Celebrating Diwali 🪔

We had a wonderful time celebrating the Festival of Light with the children. We dressed in traditional Indian clothes, made paper plate diyas, and read Diwali stories. Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us and share their festival with the children. We hope everyone who celebrated Diwali had a happy and peaceful time with their loved ones. 🎆
