At Kids By Design Preschool, children are given many opportunities to freely interact with their peers. This fosters the positive social skills and friendships which are important for building a child's self-confidence. Children will expand their learning concepts through individual and group exploration. They will be given the freedom to achieve new skills at their own pace while gaining a sense of personal competence. Children will also explore different cultures and communities by participating in various field trips and projects.
Tiddlycove Montessori School is a Preschool & Kindergarten based on the Montessori educational philosophy, located at an idyllic seaside. Our program is based on the Montessori educational philosophy developed by Maria Montessori in the early 1900's. Children are encouraged to explore their passions & interests in a loving, patient & nurturing environment, while their caregivers support their development of a solid foundation in the core academic areas of language, math & culture. Children are introduced to these core academic areas with engaging & interactive multi-sensory materials that harness their natural developmental needs to see, hear, touch & move. The Tiddlycove program also incorporates other educational styles that directly complement the Montessori philosophy, such as the Orton-Gillingham technique used to teach young children the phonetic foundations of the alphabet.
