The Fantail Class is designed to meet the very specific needs of children from the age of 18 months to 3 years. The classroom environment is set up to allow the children as much independence as possible, which is supported by consistent rules and caring supervision. Fully trained and experienced teachers introduce the children to simple, engaging, fun Montessori activities which stimulate their language and intellectual growth. Throughout the morning session, children are free to choose between indoor and outdoor activities. Mat time begins at 9:45am, followed by morning tea at 10:00am. Afternoon sessions are available all week, we have a sleeping area for children who require it or for those who no longer require sleep they join the Tui class for the afternoon. The Fantail Class gives children a gentle, fun introduction to Montessori.
