Montessori
Hands that do, minds that focus
Child-sized materials, free choice and quiet concentration. Little ones pour, sort, stack and button, and discover the joy of “I can do it myself”.
Duama Bay Kids · Children below six
Where little hands get messy and big ideas grow.
A playful, natural start for the youngest learners. We blend Montessori, Reggio and Playway, so every day is full of paint, sand, stories, songs and the wide world outside.
Three ways of learning, one happy room
Montessori. Reggio. Playway.
Young children learn best in a setting that feels natural to them. So we borrow the best from three well-loved approaches and keep everything kid-sized, kid-friendly and full of wonder.
Reggio
A thousand ways to say what I think
Paint, clay, leaves, stones and cardboard become a child’s languages. Children wonder, explore and show their ideas in their own way.
Playway
Learning dressed up as play
Songs, rhymes, stories, pretend games and movement. Letters and numbers join the fun, and never feel like a chore.
How little ones learn
Touch it. Play it. Step into it.
At this age, children are most receptive to what they can touch, see, hear and do. Our spaces, groups and training are all built around that.
Sensory learning
Squish, pour, smell, listen. Real materials and open-ended things to explore wake up every sense.
Play-based learning
Play is how small children make sense of ideas, friends and the world, so play is where we begin.
Exposure to the world
Gardens, seasons, people and places. Deeper experiences of the world around them, rooted in real life.
A very good kind of mess
Paint on the fingers, sand in the shoes.
Some of the best learning happens when nobody is worried about a little mess. Colour, mud, water and clay are welcome here.
…and a very good day.
What your little one builds
A strong start, and a little independence.

Early literacy
Sounds, rhymes, stories and first words, building the foundation for reading and writing.

Early numeracy
Counting, sorting, patterns and shapes, learned with real objects and small hands.
3
Little independence
Choosing, pouring, tidying and carrying out their own activities, all by themselves.
4
Learning by doing
Trying, fixing and trying again, so confidence grows with every go.
We are still building.Our spaces, groups and training for early learners are being designed. More photographs and details will be added here soon.
