Specialist Programmes

• The On We Go! Speech, Language and Communication Programme:

This popular extension to the existing Montessori Pink reading scheme materials enables children and teachers to develop and use reading lists and booklets which are customised to suit individual children's interests, learning styles and stages of development.

• Special Needs and Disabilities Seminars:

 Choose from a general introduction to Montessori schools' statutory responsibility to identify, assess and provide for children's special educational needs (SEN), or a workshop focussing on a specific learning disability, such as Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Autistic Spectrum disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - or global developmental delay and sensory integration.

• Montessori Baby Programmes:

The most important period in a human being's educational and emotional development is the first few years of life. Montessori baby programmes focus on independence in movement, thinking, communication, socialisation and language skills.

• Montessori in The Home, and Home Education:

A child who feels respected and competent develops a strong level of emotional wellbeing. This programme of Montessori home activities is designed to help children learn how to do things for themselves.
