Riversyde Montessori Pre-school was opened in July 2004. Over the years, we have grown into a school with 45 children and 6 staff members. We are dedicated to providing a loving, fun, well-prepared and curiosity driven environment, where children develop in totality and a life- long love for learning.
Our Aims
To promote the well-being of the whole child through comprehensive and individual life skills and academic support for children who want a more individual approach.
To equip the child with vital skills and learning that is appropriate now and valuable in the future, emphasising learning that nurtures creativity and a connection with nature.
To offer an environment and a curriculum that reflects the Montessori ethos of active, inquiry-based cross-curricular learning.
Our goal is to strive to ensure that all children feel happy and safe. Everyone is valued, respected as an individual and encouraged to persevere, striving to achieve their full potential.
