The carefully selected Montessori materials in our classrooms are designed to isolate concepts and provide built-in control of error, allowing children to learn independently. Each material addresses a specific skill or concept, progressing from simple to complex and concrete to abstract.

Practical Life

Materials that develop fine motor skills, coordination, and independence through everyday activities like pouring, sorting, and cleaning.

Sensorial

Materials that refine the senses, helping children to classify, order, and distinguish different shapes, sizes, textures, sounds, and colours.

Language

Materials that build vocabulary, phonemic awareness, and writing skills, preparing children for reading through a multi-sensory approach.

Maths

Concrete materials that introduce mathematical concepts, from quantity and numerals to operations and geometry in a hands-on approach.

Geography, Culture and Science

Materials which explore geography, cultures and history, encouraging respect and understanding for the wider world. Materials that encourage observations, experimentation, and discovery of the natural world through hands-on exploration

Outdoor Environment

At Mana Montessori our outdoor space is designed specifically to support children develop their physical skills, coordination, confidence, and independence while fostering a lifelong respect for the environment. Through hands-on learning experiences such as growing flowers and vegetables they discover the wonders of the natural world.
