OUTSTANDING MONTESSORI PRE-SCHOOL IN BECKENHAM
Cator Park Montessori Pre-School
Set in the heart of the lovely Cator Park, in Beckenham, our pre-school uses the Montessori method of teaching, which is based on a deep respect for children as unique individuals. Our children are free to choose, explore and enjoy learning experiences. This helps them to build confidence in their own abilities and stimulate their imaginations and creativity, and provides a firm foundation for future learning.

Parent Reviews
Our Montessori approach to Pre-School
Our aim is to develop “the whole child”, instilling an enthusiasm for learning, and building strong foundations for our pupils’ future education. The Montessori Method believes that a teacher’s role is merely one to aid and support the child’s exploration and creativity, while the child learns from their environment and other children at their own pace. This method has shown to help foster independence, confidence, a sense of pride in their achievements and positive self-esteem from an early age.
- Free-play activities, such as a role play area and construction toys for imaginary play to develop spatial awareness, motor skills, language and social skills
- Our mud-kitchen, digging, mini beast and planting areas add to the whole outdoor experience. In addition, our children enjoy a carefully planned programme of special activities, outings and events including nature walks in the park, visits to the library and the teddy-bears picnic where we eat the food harvested from the children’s own planting programme
- Easily accessible Montessori materials in our indoor and outdoor classrooms, including activities for “Everyday Living”, “Education of the Senses”, “Mathematics”, “Literacy”, “Cultural” and “Understanding the World
