From the Little Diggers Montessori
Here at Little Diggers Montessori, welcome. We are a thriving community of kids and adults who share a love of nature and the Montessori educational philosophy. Since we are fortunate to have full access to our own on-site forest schools at both of our locations, outside learning is a significant aspect of our culture.
Children are innate explorers; they have a remarkable imagination, sense of wonder, and drive to learn and accomplish things. In a technological culture, people spend progressively less time outside. A youngster needs room, freedom, and the chance to explore in order to raise a generation that is linked to nature and to develop to their greatest potential.
Open 365 days a year; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Breakfast and After-School Club; 3 months to 5 years; Montessori; Forest School.
Pre-School / 3 - 5 years / Montessori / Forest School / Term-time only / 8.30 am - 2.30 pm
