Little Forest Montessori

Tiny hands. Tiny feet. Maximum joy. 🥰

Our youngest children spend their days exploring texture, colour, weight and movement — not through worksheets, but through moments exactly like this one.

Every ball grabbed, dropped, squeezed and thrown is the brain making new connections.

This is how babies learn at Little Forest: through their bodies, at their own pace, in a space designed just for them.

Summer at Little Forest doesn't mean summer break.

July and August are two of our favourite months — longer mornings outdoors, sensory play with water and sand, nature projects, and the unhurried pace that childhood deserves.

We're open through August 14th, and we'd love to spend the summer with your little one.

Spots are limited. Drop us a message or visit the link in bio to find out more.

Sometimes we trade the classroom for the sea. 🌊

Watch them hold hands all the way to the water's edge — not because anyone told them to, but because that's what happens when children feel safe.

This is what we mean by outdoor time at Little Forest: real places, real experiences, real learning.

The beach is not a reward. It's part of the curriculum. 🥰

Every end of term, we do this. 🌳

We pack up the picnic tables, message the parents, and gather in the park — because a school community is built not just inside the classroom, but out here too.

Today we closed our third term with watermelon, homemade muffins, chocolate cake, and a whole lot of sandwiches that the kids helped themselves to before anyone could stop them.

Parents met parents. Children had fun.

This is Little Forest: a small school with a big heart.

Summer continues — we’re open through August 14th. See you next week.

El aula más grande que tenemos. 🌳

La clase fue bajo un árbol en el parque.

Nadie se quedó sentado mucho rato.
Todos tocaron la tierra.
Alguien encontró una hormiga.

Y aprendieron más que con cualquier ficha.

Esto también es Little Forest. 🌿

"Help me to do it myself." — Maria Montessori 🌿
This single sentence is the heartbeat of Montessori education. It changes how we set up the room, how we speak, how we wait, how we trust.
It means we don't rush in to button the coat, pour the water, or finish the puzzle. We slow down. We watch. We offer just enough — and not a drop more.
Because every time a child does something on their own, two things happen: a skill is built, and a quiet voice inside whispers, "I can."
That voice, repeated thousands of times across early childhood, becomes self-confidence for life. 🌳

Cuando están así de concentrados, no los interrumpas. 🎨

Ni para decirles que lo están haciendo bien.
Ni para sugerirles otro color.
Ni para nada.

Este momento — esta cara — es el aprendizaje más profundo que existe.
Se llama flow. Y en Little Forest pasa todos los días. 🌿

This happened without any adult planning it. 🌿

No instructions. No prompt.
Just two kids, a space that allows it,
and the magic of what children do when you get out of the way.

Friendship starts here. Every single day.

Starting school is a big deal. For the child, and for the family. 🌿
That's why our adaptation period is gradual, individualised, and built around your child's pace — never the other way around. We invite families in, we welcome short stays, we extend slowly. We observe. We listen.
There's no rush. Because attachment isn't something to overcome — it's something to honour.
When children feel safe, they explore. When they feel seen, they bloom.
