Need more help?
Our team is happy to answer any questions about enrolment, our Montessori approach, daily routines or your child’s individual needs.
Q
Does Rainbow Montessori provide a place for a child with additional needs?
A place will always be available for a child who requires appropriate assistance, if required. Support is provided through the AIM programme. Three of our educators are graduates of the Leadership for Inclusion in the Early Years programme from University of Limerick and Mary Immaculate College Limerick. We will do our very best to facilitate the needs of the individual child, once we have appropriate staff in place
Q
Do the children go outside to play?
Yes. We have a secure fenced area outdoors where the children can take part in supervised free play and organised games and activities.
Q
Are the staff fully qualified to teach the Montessori curriculum?
Yes, all teachers are fully qualified in the Montessori Curriculum and four of our Early Years Educators have a BA degree in Early Childhood Care and Education.
Q
Is Rainbow Montessori Sutton an Accredited Montessori School?
Yes, our accreditation certificate is on display in the classroom.
Q
Do the children have to bring a lunch or snack?
Yes, each child should bring a healthy snack and drink of water only. Their water bottle is available to them throughout the entire day.
Q
Do the same age children sit together?
No, the children are mixed at each table so that the younger children can learn by observing the older children while they work. We rotate each child’s place on a regular basis.
Q
Can a child attend both morning and afternoon class?
Unfortunately this is not possible, as this is a sessional childcare service.
Q
Does my child need to be toilet trained?
Yes, preferably, but exceptions are made to facilitate all children as best we can.
