From the Secret Garden Montessori
I'm in my second year of study at the Montessori Centre International for the Level 4 Diploma in Early Years.
Forest School leader and certified primary school teacher Louise Dougal.
I knew the Montessori approach shared many of my own ideas and values about early education, so I was excited to come to Secret Garden since I now have the opportunity to do so!
It still amazes me that I get to direct Forest School at Secret Garden and bring the kids to such a lovely area of the woods for our lessons.
I am dedicated to my CPD, I enjoy learning new things, and I am eager to learn all there is to know about Montessori in action from the team.
