Montessori clubs for little ones

Two children smiling and playing with a magnifying glass together at a table in a classroom, with colorful artwork on the wall in the background.

Originally created for Reception and Year 1 children at a local primary school, Montessori Discoverers has been a much-loved after-school club from the start. Due to its success, we’ve developed a simplified version especially for younger children aged 2 and up.

This daytime club still embraces the Montessori philosophy, using high-quality, beautiful materials to inspire learning. Each week, children enjoy a variety of fun, creative activities from crafts and sensory play to simple science experiments, all designed to spark curiosity and imagination.
