Grace Park Montessori

"Jo and Kate are one of the best teachers your child can possibly get. They are loving, caring and garner a lot of respect from all the parents who have been sending their children there for number of years. They have tons of creative activities and you'd love to see the product of creativity every week."

""Singers of Song" A poem inspired by Jo and Kate. Nurturance, Love, safe hands and a hug mean the world to those little hearts And set your teaching far apart from Performance and grades It's confidence you've raised Its the songs you've sung And the stories you've read That stay with the child as they snuggle in bed. Hold fast to this as the days are long Your job is tough But never feel you're not enough For your song lingers in those little ears Safe in the knowledge you will dry their tears with arms so tender its this love they remember. Oh kind and lovely singers of song never looking for where we're wrong But always believing that we are strong, How important you are with your song and your rhyme, Changing the world one heart at a time. How the world would dance to a different beat, If not for you putting the heart in those little feet. The seeds you sow, the kindness you bring make all my days happy, so I too can sing❤ By Ali, June 2019."

"Child-centred, fun and loving environment where children are supported to learn and grow as individuals and work together as a team. Children learn the basics such as colours, counting and shapes, as well as learning poetry and songs. They get a chance to hear about the world beyond the classroom and my little boy has learned about the seasons and nature, the earth's geography and the planets, amongst other things. Concepts such as manners, friendship, kindness, respect, turn-taking and other moral codes are spoken about and practised daily. As a parent, I have been astounded by what my little boy has learned at Grace Park Montessori and by how he's developed as a little person there. I know when I drop him there in the morning that I'm leaving him in a safe, loving place where he's accepted and encouraged to have fun, express himself, be independent and learn as much as he can, in the spirit of the Montessori ethos. I couldn't praise Jo and her staff enough and will always be grateful for the peace of mind I had and the support I got as a parent when entrusting my only child to someone outside his family for the first time. The thing about Grace Park Montessori is that once your child has been here, they, and you as a parent, will always be part of the Grace Park Montessori family, and that is a special thing."
