Employer Description:
At Archangels Montessori we endeavor to make the setting inviting for all our users. Children experience a feeling of a home away from home; a happy place full of friends where they feel safe, secure and are able to freely express themselves. Groups are small in a relaxed atmosphere, promoting constant advancement in all areas of learning. All rooms are well equipped with a range of materials appropriate to the ages of the children. Once materials have been presented to a child the child can engage in an activity alone, with others or adults. During work cycle, children are encouraged to learn spontaneously by having the freedom to select their choice of activities from the open shelves. Once settled, children confidently select activities of interest, engage with them and return them back on to the shelf. This demonstrates that they are self-disciplined, self-confident and continues to develop excellent self-esteem. Careful observation, assessment and planning is carried out by our practitioners who are keen observers and able to assess when to extend children’s learning. Children are keen learners and observers who tend to absorb sensorial impressions of their environment. Our team of staff provide appropriate role modeling as they gain as they gain a sense of the world in which they live
