Our unique blend of Montessori with daycare starts from the time children join us as babies and continues through all the stages of their growth and development until they are ready to leave us for primary school. We believe the Montessori method of education is the best way to prepare a child for a fulfilled life. Montessori has proved highly successful throughout the world, and we endeavour to provide an authentic, inspiring Montessori education for all our children.

The cornerstone of Newpark’s education is to foster and encourage self-confidence, independence and an enquiring mind in each child. Being at Newpark also assists every child’s social development; children learn to be considerate, respectful and to realise that even the youngest child has his or her role to play in the daily life of the nursery environment.

When we plan for our youngest ones we bear in mind that children should feel at home in the nursery. They are not at school yet and activities should be fun and optional. We provide a warm, caring environment where children have the opportunity to develop their, social, emotional, language, creative, cognitive and physical skills. Children learn through their senses by doing rather than by being told, by being given appropriate responsibility and allowed to make errors, decisions and choices. As children grow older their needs change and subsequently in our Montessori school classrooms we adapt the environment accordingly and the activities we provide present a greater learning challenge for each child. We also believe in providing a rich language environment full of conversation, stories and songs.

Our learning environments are calm, beautiful, and full of wooden furniture and natural materials that appeal to the senses. Our trademark yellow walls ensure our nurseries are warm and inviting places to be.
