Albert Einstein


About

What We do

The formative years of a child’s life are the most vital in terms of their learning journey. It is during these earliest years of development that a curiosity and desire for knowledge can be encouraged and fostered; when confidence through competence is born.

We assist parents in developing the innate potential of their child through:

  • Initial consultation with parent/guardian and observation of the child within their home environment
  • Referral where there are areas of concern in terms of developmental milestones
  • One-to-one early learning support sessions with a focus on Montessori-based, sensorial activities, child-led thematic exploration/play
  • Training in early child development
  • Resourcing to support holistic early learning
  • Personalised support for home schooling
