Class Experience
Join us for Movement and Exploration where a trained Montessori teacher will engage with your child, facilitate your child’s social experience with other babies, offer engaging and challenging play, and answer your parenting questions. Learn how Montessori philosophy can support your child’s need to move, inquisitive nature, and ability to develop concentration. Crawling is an important stage in development and research has shown the crawling stage is connected to later linguistic and memory skills. Your child will be busy pulling up, standing and letting go, and crawling over the wobble board, piklar triangle and through tunnels.
Your child needs to move and Kith&Kin offers an environment to support this need, encourage concentration, maximise positive social interaction, and refine their fine-motor skills. As your child works on strengthening their muscles, you will have the opportunity to engage with other parents and learn tips, tricks, and techniques from your Montessori guide to bring this practice home.
Each 6 week course fee includes:

75min weekly class

Access to a curated set of Montessori materials
