A gentle Montessori morning programme for ages 1–3

Silver Leaf Montessori Playgroup offers a nurturing, caregiver-accompanied morning programme designed around the developmental needs of toddlers.

Children are given opportunities to explore, make choices, build confidence and develop growing independence through purposeful activities, movement, sensory experiences, music, stories and outdoor play.

Each child attends with a parent, nanny or caregiver, providing the reassurance of a familiar adult in a shared learning environment.
