Freedom within limits in Montessori Education
Freedom within limits is a core Montessori concept. For parents that are new to Montessori this concept may seem contradictory. After all, aren’t limits and rules the opposite of freedom? Some parents may also be concerned that the absence of rules will lead to bad behaviour. Because surely, no rules lead to anarchy, right?

Sun Protection
Each child is required to bring a hat to school every day. During the summer months the children must wear their hats and are required to apply sun screen, which we provide. Baseball hats are not suitable as they do not protect the ears or the back of the neck
Cooking and Reheating Food
When it comes to cooking and reheating food, temperatures are just as important as storing food. Even if food has been properly frozen or refrigerated there will still likely be some bacteria present so heating food to a safe temperature will lower the risk of food poisoning.
