ABOUT OUR SERVICES
WHAT WE DO
Montessori Method
The Montessori Method of education is a unique method which places emphasis in educating the whole child, covering all aspects of their development- intellectual, social, physical, emotional and spiritual.
Observations
Your child will be assigned a key worker and this key worker will be in charge of your child’s learning story once a term. These will be printed and sent home in your child’s scrapbook
Aistear & Siolta
Following the new curriculum framework in Ireland for all children from the ages of 0-6 we incorporate Aistear into our curriculum planning. Aistear is the Irish word for ‘journey’ and it will help ensure that your child will be given the best opportunity to develop as a confident and competent learner.
Our Vision
Guardian Angel Montessori aims to provide a quality child led curriculum incorporating aspects of the Montessori curriculum, in the moment play, Reggio, child led, Siolta and Aistear: the curriculum framework.
We advocate that children should learn through play but also that children learn at their own pace and within the parameters of their own interests, age and stage of development.
